Connection thesis
Iran escalation narrative is now embedded in central bank policy (BOJ rate hike), geopolitical cost-accounting (war crimes discourse), and economic fragility framing ('no-hire economy'). This represents second-order pricing: not the initial shock, but the *policy response* to the shock. When central banks move in response to tail risk, it signals they believe the risk is no longer tail — it's structural. This typically precedes either (a) a second leg of equity volatility, or (b) a flight to duration/yen. SPY +0.09% is *flatness* in the face of BOJ tightening + Iran strikes talk — that's a yellow flag for hidden positioning.

How I was thinking
