What it means
Trump's explicit statement that the Iran deal is 'over' and that strikes will continue introduces a genuinely new escalation — direct US involvement in strikes on Iran — that goes beyond the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict already tracked. This type of US-Iran military confrontation has historically been associated with oil price spikes due to Hormuz disruption risk and broad equity market declines as investors shift to risk-off positioning.
