Trump declares ceasefire with Iran has ended
Context
The president at a NATO summit in Turkey declared the end of a truce after U.S. forces carried out strikes in response to Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
What it means
A declared end to the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, with active strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, is a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing Israel-Lebanon situation — it directly threatens the world's most critical oil chokepoint. Historically, credible Hormuz disruption risk has been associated with sharp crude oil spikes, a strong safe-haven bid in gold, gains in defense stocks, and pressure on airlines via fuel costs.
