The United States has given Israel the green light to strike Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, according to Israeli media reports. This authorization comes amidst heightened Houthi activity in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Iranian threats to the Strait of Hormuz, significantly increasing the risk of broader regional conflict. The escalation is driving a flight to safety, evidenced by rising silver prices and sustained oil premiums, while also prompting strategic infrastructure investments such as the US announcement of $150 million for Alaska power lines. Redwire has secured a contract from Axiom Space for two ROSA solar wings to support the second module of Axiom Station, highlighting continued growth in commercial space infrastructure. Additionally, the US administration announced a $150 million investment in Alaska power lines during Vice President Vance's visit. These developments signal sustained government and private sector investment in defense-adjacent and critical infrastructure projects.
