Iran hits US allies as Israel warns missiles could land on its territory
What it means
Active Iranian strikes on US allies combined with explicit missile warnings toward Israel represent a genuine escalation step beyond the simmering baseline — historically associated with a short-term safe-haven bid into gold, a risk premium on crude given Hormuz proximity, and gains in defense names. Broad equities have historically seen modest short-term dips on sudden multi-actor escalations, though these tend to recover within weeks if the conflict does not broaden further.
