| | | | | Ok let’s dive deep into this crisis in the Middle East for a second…
There are basically five main players, right?
You’ve got Israel — they were attacked on October 7th in the worst attack against Jews since the Holocaust. Whatever you make of their response since then, they were unexpecting victims as recently as six months ago.
Then there’s Hamas and Hezbollah — Hamas perpetrated the attacks, and Hezbollah is another terrorist group that has been harassing Israel ever since. Both of these cells are backed by….
Iran — they launched missiles at Israel just last week, sparking new fears about a wider conflict that could spiral into World War III (Good news, it seems like that’s not happening now… but the risk is still there)
And finally, we have the United States. They’re kind of the wild card in this whole thing because whenever they place their finger on the scale, they will make a huge, huge impact.
Now, at the moment, as I said, it seems like the possibility for a more explosive conflict is minimal. Iran and Israel have exchanged cursory blows, and both are appeased… for now…
But whenever there is tension in the Middle East — and there’s no question we have massive tension right now — it has a massive impact on certain key investments.
One is pretty obvious: oil.
