Connection thesis
Multiple MEDIUM-trust sources (NYT, NPR, BBC) now report escalating Iran war messaging from Trump ('makes case for Iran war') and Macron criticism of shifting U.S. goals, contradicting the de-escalation narrative that triggered this morning's relief bounce. Combined with mortgage rate climb (5th week) attributed to 'Iran War weighs on U.S. Housing Market' [38940], this suggests market participants have re-assessed the conflict as *intensifying*, not resolving. The price action (mega-cap selloff despite positive open) confirms the narrative inversion.
