"The US combat strike on an Iranian submarine base (Event 13) represents a significant escalation in military operations. This aggressive action contributes to the broader 'Iran conflict' mentioned in the new event, driving market concerns over regional instability and supply chain disruptions, thereby causing the rise in Treasury yields."

They are parallel indicators of the financial repercussions stemming from the same geopolitical confrontation."
