Oil prices rise above $85 as US strikes Iran for second night
Context
US Central Command says forces struck missile and drone facilities, naval assets and coastal defence systems in Iran overnight
What it means
Brent crude was already called up in delfee's prior signals on this same Iran-US conflict, and oil prices above $85 reflect that premium being realized. A second night of US strikes on the same target set (missile/drone facilities, naval assets, coastal defenses) is a continuation of the established pattern rather than a genuine escalation to new channels or actors. The market move is already reflected in prior signals — no new causal chain is warranted.
