Who gives a damn about a drone? At least Iran doesn't shoot down passenger planes the way we did on 3 July 1988 when Iran Flight 655 was deliberatly shot down by our Navy killing all 290 passengers. Trump is smarter than most people think.

Trump suddenly pull back, he suddenly remembers that he doesnt build long position in gold.
His Ice berg algo team hasn't accumulated all he wants yet, he will make profit from some of pre accumulated longs earlier by selling into this mass public jump-on-gold wagon. Then when his offers and his colleagues' overwhelms the naive late longs, gold will sink back to lower levels again, hold your gold long, don't join the masses, it will pullback for a nice long level.

{quote} are you serious about short gold ? .... how's trap can you explain ? i just want to learn
Yes i remember the same thing happened in 2013 when US navy launched two missile on syria and russian deffense stop them the gold strike to 1433 and the suddenly hit back to 1300 after a week. There is no possibility for a war now cause US are sending troops to middle east when US call their troops back maybe their will be a possibility for a war all u see in media is fake they do this to scare arab gulf countries and take from them more money only threats no war!!

Trump shows he's just a drama queen!
Why the drama?

Best thing for US is to call back all her troops and leave countries to thier own wills instead of tryingt o destabilise them.

Very smart move by the president... it sends a signal to Iran that he's ready to act, but at the same time not falling into Iran's trap...
