Obama-Kerry Iranian Appeasement in the Trash – Is War Next?

Tensions are high as President Trump canceled the Iran deal. the IDF has been increasingly hitting Iranian targets within Syria, and there is mounting fear of an Iranian response. As I have written about at length, Iran has very little in the way of a response. It is a paper tiger that has started to believe its own hype. It is a poor, backwards, corrupt country with negligible military experience and a shaky regime and paranoid regime. The Iraqi army, itself famous for incompetence, was a far superior (though smaller) force to the Iranians during their long conflict in the 80’s. Iran’s experience is in funding and controlling proxies to carry out its terrorism and fighting for it. A brief and quick analysis here, followed up later hopefully with a more in-depth analysis of the dangers and opportunities, the US and Israel face. Before Though the mainstream left leaning media, especially in Israel, touts the current Israeli government as ultra-right (even fascist, whatever that means), many right leaning Israeli voters are disappointed with Bibi’s (Benjamin Netanyahu’s) lack of action regarding our enemies.

Iran is threatening to cut off the Strait of Hormuz to all oil exports (basically everyone’s oil, Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq etc) must pass through there. Nice… If they do that, their fate is sealed, not even Obama may be able to save them. (It speaks volumes of their strategy that to date has worked, if they talk big enough, the world trembles. Qaddafi’s pleads of “why are you randomly bombing us, we are friends” fell on completely unafraid deaf ears) But since they are unlikely to do that, we have a likely scenario of oil soaring short term (already did so on tension and the announcements passed $100 a barrel), and then coming back down after it blows over. Time to short? In event of an actual strike on Iran, be it from them cutting off Hormuz or an unrelated strike by Israel and/or the US on their nukes, oil will soar even higher for the duration of the conflict, and then once again drop down. The oil price equation is in this case not only very interesting for would be investors, but the entire geopolitical situation. As the world economy still hangs by thin [...]
