Iran Limits IAEA Access After Strikes on Nuclear Sites
What it means
Iran restricting IAEA access after strikes on nuclear sites is a genuine escalation beyond the prior Israel-Lebanon framing — it raises the prospect of Iran accelerating enrichment with reduced oversight, a scenario historically associated with higher crude and gold and increased defense-sector interest. The nuclear dimension is new information that goes beyond the ongoing military conflict signals already priced in.
