The story
New US strikes in Iran near the Hormuz Strait follow drone intercepts, with Trump hardening his nuclear red line and IRGC threatening to turn the coastal corridor into a 'graveyard for aggressors.' The Strait handles ~20% of global seaborne oil — any escalation that credibly threatens closure would spike crude and defense names while hammering tanker-dependent refiners and rate-sensitive risk assets.
