U . S . resumes strikes on Iran in retaliation for attack on American troops
What it means
Direct U.S. military strikes on Iran represent a genuine escalation — not a continuation of prior low-level tensions — and have historically been associated with an immediate oil risk premium, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have historically seen a short-term risk-off dip in such episodes, though recoveries within weeks are common if the conflict does not widen further.
