Iran-US war latest: Trump says Tehran ‘better behave’ as US launches second wave of strikes in 24 hours
Context
US launched multiple rounds of airstrikes against Iran to degrade country’s ability to attack commercial ships in Strait of Hormuz
What it means
A second round of US airstrikes within 24 hours is a genuine escalation step beyond what prior signals in this situation covered — it raises the probability of Iranian retaliation and a sustained Strait of Hormuz disruption. Historically, a credible chokepoint threat of this magnitude has been associated with sharp crude oil spikes, safe-haven flows into gold, and gains in defense stocks.
