**Summary**: Iran has launched multiple ballistic missile waves at northern Israel, while the U.S. is actively pressing Israel not to retaliate immediately and Trump says the U.S. will not join any massive Israeli attack. Combined with widespread regional airspace closures and evacuation of Tehran airports, the risk of direct strikes on Iranian energy remains elevated but near‑term odds of an immediate Israeli attack are lower than an hour ago, tempering the upside in crude’s war‑risk premium.

## Detail

1) What happened:
Over the last hour, Iran’s IRGC has fired multiple waves of ballistic missiles at northern Israel, including Ramat David Air Base and Haifa area targets ([10], [68], [75], [87], [141], [144]). At least one impact in northern Israel is confirmed; debris has landed in southern Syria ([80], [142]). Iran’s Khatam al‑Anbiya HQ and IRGC sources threaten a larger second round and say they are prepared for full‑scale war if Israel responds ([93], [103]). Israel’s IDF says the Iranian regime has made a “grave mistake” and is preparing offensive plans ([82], [83], [99]). In parallel, the U.S. posture has shifted toward de‑escalation: multiple reports say President Trump is telling Netanyahu not to retaliate, arguing both sides have already “had their strike,” and explicitly stating the U.S. will not join any massive Israeli attack on Iran ([47], [57], [65], [86], [101], [102], [106], [107]). Ynet reports Washington is urging Israel to wait several days to test a diplomatic track and then, if needed, execute a coordinated response ([1], [3], [22], [33]).

Regionally, Iran has closed its western airspace and is evacuating Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports; flights from IKA are suspended ([23], [37], [84], [119]). Iraq and Syria have also closed or restricted airspace ([50], [79], [109], [145]). Civilian airliners are being moved out of Tehran in anticipation of possible Israeli strikes ([35]). MANPADS have been deployed in western Iran ([36]).

2) Supply/demand impact:
No confirmed damage yet to energy infrastructure, shipping lanes, or production facilities. However, the previous explicit Israeli signaling that Iranian energy could be targeted (already covered by earlier FLASH alerts) remains in force, while the U.S. is now clearly discouraging such a move and signaling it will not participate.

Net effect on crude’s war‑risk premium in this hour is nuanced: (a) upside risk: confirmation of Iranian ballistic capability against Israel and rhetoric of readiness for full‑scale war sustain a tail risk of strikes on Iranian export infrastructure or Strait of Hormuz disruption; (b) downside/tempering: strong and public U.S. pushback against an Israeli strike on Iran lowers the probability of an imminent attack on Iranian oil terminals, refineries, or shipping.

3) Affected assets and direction:
• Brent/WTI: Still biased higher vs pre‑crisis baseline on medium‑term risk, but compared with earlier in the day, this specific news flow is marginally de‑escalatory on the immediate horizon (reduces probability of an Israeli strike in the next 24–72h). Expect high intraday volatility with potential short‑covering spikes on any new strike headlines and pullbacks on de‑escalation commentary.
• Gold: Elevated safe‑haven bid persists due to open missile exchange and war threats; U.S. mediation tone caps extreme upside for now.
• EM FX and regional risk assets: Ongoing stress in MENA and Turkish assets via geopolitical risk premium, but the explicit U.S. reluctance to widen the war is modestly supportive vs worst‑case.

4) Historical precedent:
This resembles the U.S.–Iran exchange after the Soleimani killing in Jan 2020: kinetic action plus political signaling that each side seeks to avoid uncontrollable escalation. Then, Brent spiked intraday >5% before retracing as de‑escalation signals emerged.

5) Duration:
Absent direct hits on energy infrastructure, current moves are risk‑premium and sentiment‑driven and thus inherently transient, but the probability of a structurally higher Mideast risk premium over the coming weeks remains elevated so long as both sides continue to trade fire and threaten ‘next rounds.’
