Iran-US war latest: Trump resumes ‘heavy waves of strikes’ on Iran after vowing to avenge surprise missile attack
Context
Iran targeted US bases in Jordan and claims to have struck three tankers in Strait of Hormuz
What it means
A direct US-Iran military exchange with tanker strikes in the Strait of Hormuz — through which roughly a fifth of global oil transits — has historically been associated with sharp crude oil spikes, strong safe-haven demand for gold, and gains in defense stocks. Airlines are typically pressured by the associated fuel cost shock. This represents a genuine new escalation beyond prior signals in this situation.
