Israel needs a regime change just as much as anyone if we are talking about stamping out terrorists.

Interesting that the oil price calamity that was created calmed down after just a hint that the G7 is willing to open up the strategic reserves (with Trump likely making an announcement himself soon).

WTI Crude back to 84$ after hitting over 116$.

Short term solution for what I don't believe to be a short term situation.

Turns out actions like full scale war have repercussions that aren't necessarily desired and having a rogue partner like Israel who has different objectives and its own agenda may not work out as planned. Who knew that Iran would shut out the Strait of Hormuz after it's existence is being attacked, and the world panics when vast amounts of oil depots get bombed and toxic black oil rain drenches who you claim to be wanting to help?

I also think the market is reminding themselves of the TACO principle, and Trump is at least 50/50 to fold soon. Feels like it's inevitable now the Iranian people are going to end up in worse shape than this began once Trump pussies out.

He's already calling the "war is very complete"

Dumbass, you can't just wack a hornet's nest blow it up and expect the hornets to stop attacking you just because you called it "very complete"

So is that gonna be Trump’s big announcement today? That the war is complete, lol? Good lord he’s such a f’n dumbass.
