What it means
While this situation has been ongoing for over a month, the direct U.S.-Iran military exchange and explicit reimposition of Iran sanctions represent a genuine escalation beyond prior proxy-level conflict — historically associated with a fresh crude spike and a stronger safe-haven bid for gold. The sanctions add a new supply-removal channel that prior signals did not fully price in.
