The story
Iran's IRGC has reportedly attacked the US Fifth Fleet headquarters and a US airbase, representing a major escalation in Middle East hostilities. If confirmed, this triggers an immediate risk-off flight — oil spike, defense bid, broad equity sell-off — with significant uncertainty around US military response.
