“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”

    Doesn’t this inevitably ends with money itself losing its value?

    It seems that people is paying and receiving money for purely speculative reasons, no?

      Could be, no one knows how this ends. The effects so far are not good (less capital being invested in real things so more can go into the market) and will likely continue this way for a while. Although this is the case worldwide the real leader is the american stock market, so there is always the chance that with the us becoming the new world pariah state real losses could be seen. The issue though is (at least as I see it) unless there is something with a better return or lower risk any losses will just be temporary as seen every time trump has tanked the market.
