Iran destroys US military residences , fighter jets in Jordan , Erbil
What it means
A confirmed Iranian strike destroying US military infrastructure represents a genuine escalation beyond what prior signals captured — historically, direct US-Iran military clashes have been associated with an immediate spike in crude oil and gold as safe-haven and supply-risk premiums build, gains in defense stocks on conflict expectations, and short-term pressure on broad equities. These moves have historically been sharp but sometimes partially reversed once the immediate shock is absorbed. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
