US attacks Iran ; Tehran responds by hitting Arab states
What it means
An active US-Iran military exchange with Arab states drawn in as targets is a material escalation beyond the tensions already tracked — historically associated with a sharp crude risk-premium spike, strong safe-haven demand for gold, and a risk-off dip in broad equities. Defense names have historically benefited from this kind of multi-actor conflict escalation. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
