Fresh US strikes reported on Iran Qeshm Island
What it means
Direct US strikes on Iranian territory mark a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing tensions already covered — this is not a continuation but a qualitative step up. Historically, strikes on Iranian soil have been associated with immediate crude oil spikes on Hormuz disruption risk, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. These relationships are well-established but depend heavily on whether Iran retaliates and whether shipping lanes are threatened. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
