What it means
US military strikes and blockades on Iran, combined with Iran actively evading them via tanker smuggling through Hormuz, represent a genuine escalation beyond prior sanctions enforcement signals — historically associated with an immediate crude oil risk premium and safe-haven gold demand. The added signal of Trump backing a Russia sanctions bill broadens the geopolitical risk backdrop, which has historically been associated with modest gains in defense stocks.
