Trump warns fresh attacks on Iran could come Wednesday night
Context
The president pledged to ramp up attacks on Iran after saying earlier that the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was “over.”
What it means
Trump's explicit declaration that the ceasefire is 'over' and threat of imminent US strikes on Iran adds a new, direct escalation layer beyond the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict already covered — historically associated with a crude oil risk premium (Hormuz exposure), a defense sector bid, and short-term risk-off pressure on broad equities. Gold and crude were already called in prior signals; the new channel here is the direct US-Iran military dimension. These patterns are not guaranteed to repeat.
