U . S . Launches Second Wave of Strikes on Iran , Resumes Naval Blockade
What it means
A second U.S. strike wave combined with a naval blockade represents a genuine escalation beyond prior signals — the blockade directly threatens Strait of Hormuz oil flows, which has historically been associated with sharp crude spikes, defense sector gains, and intensified safe-haven demand for gold. The naval dimension is the new element here, adding a credible supply-disruption channel that was not fully priced from earlier aerial strikes alone. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
