The Americans wanted to play ‘whack-a-mole’ but now they’re busy playing ‘Where’s Wally’, searching for where Iran’s stashed its uranium stockpiles – regardless of how “spectacular” a success Trump claims! He came in to end the wars but has become what he promised to destroy! He went from ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ to ‘Big Bad Bombs’. Talk the market up, bomb, rinse, repeat! After gapping up on open to a 5-month high above $80, the market realised there’s no actual disruption and Brent got depressed through the Asian session, dropping back towards $77. In this kind of operation, you need to be on the same page as your allies, but the US and Israel seemed divided on the regime change question. Trump just wanted to blow something up, while Netanyahu wanted to topple an empire. But now Mr T fancies a go at toppling too, because Iran’s regime can’t “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN”. An Israeli strike on a road to Fordow this morning did “very significant damage”, according to IAEA chief.
