Trump says ceasefire over after launching fresh strikes on Iran , calls talks a waste of time | World
What it means
A direct US military strike on Iran and the explicit abandonment of ceasefire talks represents a genuine escalation beyond prior signals — this is no longer a regional proxy conflict but a direct superpower engagement. Historically, such escalations have been associated with sharp crude oil spikes on Hormuz closure fears, a safe-haven rush into gold, and gains in defense stocks, while broad equities face short-term risk-off pressure.
