  • U.S. and Iran exchange strikes as Strait of Hormuz standoff escalates

    From cnbc.com

Ask the question, what is their goal? To destroy US bases (mission impossible) or to show SOME reactions to their people/muslim world?
If they want to be seen as a regional leader, they MUST react. Like sending some missiles to Israel desert previous war. No real damage, but the reaction.

IMO, no side is interested in destroying vital infrastructure. That would be devastating for all Gulf countries. And that infrastructure is much more fragile and much easier to make some damages than military objects.

Rising oil prices are adding uncertainty to the markets, which can influence Gold through inflation expectations and risk sentiment. However, Gold is currently trading in a choppy range, making it easy for traders to get caught in false moves.

War, when started, is not logical, it is emotional, like point of honor is not to show govt weaknes to own citizens/people.
