US restores blockade in Strait of Hormuz as Iran attacks Gulf nations
What it means
A US military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz combined with Iranian attacks on Gulf nations is a genuine, severe escalation beyond the ongoing tension delfee has already tracked — this is not a continuation. Historically, a credible threat to close this chokepoint has been associated with sharp spikes in crude oil and gold, strong gains in defense stocks, and pressure on airline stocks due to fuel costs. This is a severity-5 event with direct supply-route implications. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
