yes because Obama didn't lift sanctions w/the signing of JCOPA. "logic fails' because the evidence shown for the tanker attack, the Saudi oil facilities, and the airspace violation into Iran was solid.
Futures bright green just as I predicted. Like nothing ever happened. Oil up slightly. What a joke last night of a market reaction. Would have been a perfect tradable day but nope, small investors missed out on a 2% collapse followed by a huge ramp up.
Iranians do not want war. It is all sabre rattling for their public radical Islamists to keep control over them. If the US were to attack Iran, it would be huge and devastating to send a very strong message. It would also, result in huge casualties. Even the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei knows that. So, they fire off a bunch of missiles completely, missing the target. It gives the Iranians a chance to save face claiming they retaliated. Now, if they go back to the well and do it again and some US forces get injured and killed, the gloves come off.
So it seems that official warning was given an hour and a half to the Iraqi government by Iran about the missile attacks allowing them to get personnel well clear. All very organized and measured. Retarded Fox commentators are gleeful the Iranians "did not hit anything" implying incompetence & ignoring the warning given. Speaking of measured, I got 20 short on CL from 63.40 (CL has a thing about .40 levels) and measured the move down to ~61.30, took my profits at 61.65 as in the daytime, Trump could/will say something stupid now. Oil may go lower however the dotard is going to be talking later and I'm off to the beach.
Yeah, that is the only time Soleimani was involved in any attacks against the US. The first time eva. Just say NO to the dissemination of fake news!
Problem is, if that poopy little missile attack is their face-saving move, then they have major, major problems with their own people. No way in hell will they accept that as sufficient to avenge the killing of the butcher. That would be a major sign of weakness from the regime that assured its people for decades that there would be death to american for any transgressions. MORE TO COME......I would have to believe.....or woe be unto the Iranians - not from the Americans- but from their own people who will see that Allah is not necessarily supporting the regime. So far the Iranians are in a deep, deep, deep loss of face scenario. Not sure how they are going to pretty that up. It will be dirty and sneaky and cowardly more than direct confrontation, because Trump will respond on the direct confrontation and it will get worse as Americans are killed. They are basically lost right now without Solemenie but they will recover soon and make some other stupid move.
