MY COMMENTS:
You can see for yourself crude oil prices have dropped from around US$105 per barrel (about a month ago) to around US$86 per barrel yesterday. That is an 18% drop - which is a huge drop in just one month.
And yesterday the Dow Jones shot up 930 points (below).
This is a huge jump in just one day. When the peace is put in place (I dont think there is going to be any signing - the mullas dont care too much about signing anything) the oil prices will come down even more and the Dow will shoot up even more.
Mr Trump is moving plenty of chess pieces in the background. The conflict in Ukraine is also coming closer to a conclusion. The US has delayed some previously contracted weapons deliveries to several NATO allies which they send onward to Ukraine. The US has stopped replenishing some of Germany's stockpile of missiles - which they also send onward to Ukraine. Once the Ukraine war is concluded grain and fertiliser prices will come crashing down as well.
This war in the Middle East began 33 months ago on October 7th, 2023 when a few thousand Gazan Arabs attacked southern Israel and killed over 1,200 Israelis and took 251 people hostage. At that time it involved only Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah.
Then SIX months later on 13th April 2024 the mullas in Iran unilaterally fired missiles directly into Israel - sparking a direct conflict between Israel and Iran. 22 months later on 28th February 2026 the Iranian ayatollah was killed. Iran has suffered serious destruction and losses thus far. They must be scratching their turbans wondering why in the name of imaginary flying horses did they start this really stupid war.
Then all 159 ships in the Iranian Navy were sunk. If there were an average 10 crew members per vessel, that would be over 1590 sailors who lost their lives. Innalillah.
Iran has now been fully blockaded by the US Navy. Two days ago the US Navy fired 49 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Iran. Plus other ordnance. They caused even more damage. And the Dow Jones went up 930 points and oil prices went down to US$86 per barrel.
Someone please tell the Iranians - monitor the Dow Jones and the oil prices. That imaginary flying horse aint coming. It never did. It is imaginary. Khoda fizz.
