#IsraelIranConflict In a new episode of the non-stop Middle East series, events escalate like a video game without a "Pause" button:
Israel sets the stage, as usual: a precision airstrike targeting the Iranian Chief of Staff, the head of the Revolutionary Guard, and scientists at a nuclear project still in laboratories. At least 20 senior Iranian commanders were killed, along with the commander of Iran's drone force and the commander of its air defense headquarters. A missile factory in Shiraz, Iran, was bombed.
Apparently, only the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Iranian President remain at this moment, and the number is likely to increase.
Iran responds... with words first: "We will respond at the appropriate time," or as the world knows it: responding in accordance with international custom, the same custom that Israel uses as a "wipeout" before any attack.
Iran launches about 800 drones and cruise missiles toward Israel. What's the result?
Israel confirms that everyone objects, and almost King Abdullah himself has become the Arab Iron Dome, intercepting the planes while they are still on their way.
Then came the additional response from Israel:
A strike on Tabriz military airport, as if to say, "We still have credit for your postponed strikes."
In a dramatic, symbolic scene, Iran raised the red flag over the Jamkaran Mosque, a religious gesture that signifies a declaration of revenge... or, from a sarcastic point of view: "Iran will finally support Al-Ahly in the World Cup," because all that's left are the fans.
This major event could not pass without comments from the American President (the orange man). As you know, he does not miss anything without commenting on it. Here are some statements #Tramp
“I had prior knowledge of the strikes, and America did not participate militarily.”
“Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb.”
“There are a number of Iranian leaders who will not return.”
The attack is excellent, and there is more to come.
“Large quantities of the world’s most lethal American weapons are on their way to Israel, and they know how to use them.”
“Some Iranian hardliners spoke out bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. Now, they’re all dead!”
“No more death, no more destruction, just do it before it’s too late. God bless you all!” He jumped, as anything that glitters usually does in times of crisis. The oil was on fire, because Tehran has a habit of closing the strait when it gets angry.
In the markets, Bitcoin is faltering, and gold is in trouble. Some people see the crisis as an opportunity, so they enter the market and buy at the bottom, saying, "I love economic panic... it makes me profitable." Others buy canned goods, candles, and prepare a thermal blanket and a place in the shelter.
I wonder who you follow?
Who buys Bitcoin from the bottom?
And the one who locks the door with two keys and waits for the missile?
