Iran Strikes US Base in Kuwait with Missiles, Drones
This strike marks a direct escalation against a US base in the Gulf, moving regional tensions beyond proxy skirmishes. The immediate impact is on oil and safe-haven markets, given Kuwait's strategic location and energy exports. The fact that Kuwaiti air defenses were active suggests a coordinated response, but the extent of damage and any US retaliation remain the key variables. Watch for whether this is a one-off or the start of a sustained campaign, as that will determine the longevity of any market reaction.
