Well, President Peace, is at it again. The armada has amassed, and Iran is still negotiating. Hopefully, it is not just a show of diplomacy to provide time for arms and munitions to arrive, but I think that is likely. The Iranians cannot be that stupid and are probably well prepared for the bombardment that seems imminent.
In my armchair view, the USA has become a first striker punching down. But the Iranians may not be quite the pushover as Venezuela.
If you are of a mind to attempt a profit from these war drums, buy oil, sell Nasdaq and/or S&P, pick up some CHF and and watch the propaganda. Iran is no friend and has its peculiarities but it is a Sovereign Nation and I see no threat to the USA warranting war. One could suggest that this is in response to Netanyahu's recent WH visits. Perhaps I just don't have the data. I'm all ears.
Watch the show, it will be a long war not a 5 day campaign and let's still hope it gets averted.
Best,
