        What does this have to do with Gaza? One would think that if the IDF is busy in Iran, it will probably be less busy in Gaza.

          Everything. A new conflict distracts from the ongoing genocide and allows its perpetrators to stay in power.

      What peace talks? The ones where for over a year Iran refused to deescalate their nuclear war program and the now Europe range ballistic missiles?

      LOL. The US is on it too. So what you have to say for yourself now?

    The headline says "US and Israel". Why are you all focusing on Israel?

      Earlier headlines did just state Israel, US involvement became evident somewhat later.

    Crypto going down while Gold going up (on XAUt) suggests the market thinks this war is not going to go necessarily to the US/Israel advantage.

      as iran is a major player in crypto money laundering then it could price its fall

      why?

      is not crypto going down on any "multinational"* war?

      *war amid thai and kambodgia is not "multinational" kind of, just example of not any

        There wasn't a war between the Siam and Khmer, just some clashes plus their conflict is irrelevant to the rest of the world. I am not aware of crypto going down during that time? If I remember correctly it was close to ATH.
