๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Israeli officers reportedly see no reason to strike Iran before the US midterms

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Senior Israeli military officers see no reason to attack Iran before the US midterm elections unless they detect Iranian preparations for an attack, per Israeli media reports carried by newswires (). Unconfirmed, with no official Israeli statement
  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ The report softens this morning's message from the Israeli army that it stands ready for pre-emptive strikes on Iran

FO view: This trims the tail risk of a direct Israel and Iran exchange in the next fortnight, but the oil premium near 112 rests on Houthi strikes on Saudi sites and a shut Hormuz, which this report does not touch.

Not investment advice.
