Things just got a little hotter

iran fired over 300 missiles/rockets and drones into Israel yesterday and thankfully 99% were shot down with defense methods.

These projectiles were sub-iconic and took over 6 hours to reach their destination, at first glance I thought how stupid could they be to use these instead of hypersonic weapons which would only take about 20 minutes. Then I realized they could be trying to get the Israelis to use up their defenses and then use the big guns. Also this is a BIG distraction which could allow other enemies of Israel to move in and get ready for a major attack

I would be surprised if Israel does not go full nuke and wipe iran off the map

Your thoughts??

Jackalope:
   It was choreographed retaliation, just to save face.  Everyone was informed prior to the event, and everyone involved played their parts.  The only problem may be that Israel is wanting to improvise and escalate.  Notice the retaliation was done during the weekend, while the markets are closed.  The Iranian action may be out of the news cycle by Monday morning, so it'll be just a blip for the markets.

    However, if Israel decides they want to push the issue, then the dynamics change.  Since Brandon told Bibi the U.S. wouldn't assist if the situation is escalated, I think the Israelis will hold off until there's further justification.  Leave it to Lyin' Biden to screw things up.

JohnyMac:
I agree with Jackalope's assessment 100%. Gold did open at $2,440 though this morning. It is back down, however, you can see what war & rumors of war can do to the PM markets.

Brent Crude is also just hovering around $90 a barrel.

A nothing burger. Which by the way, is totally fine with me. Let's wait and see.

It probably was choreographed but to what end? Save face? I think this is going to escalate but I hope not. Israel needs to respond with force or every other pissant country over there and terrorist group is going to be coming after them

Maybe biden needs to be a little more firm the next time he says "DONT"  :faint:

Nemo:
Leave it all to Dark Brandon to fix.
