๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท US reportedly tells Gulf states to prepare for short Iran campaign after midterms, Trump says "anything is possible"

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Washington has told several Gulf Arab governments to be ready for a short, intense US military campaign against ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iran after next week's US midterm elections, a newspaper report citing people briefed on the talks said (unconfirmed, newswires )
  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Asked at whether there would be more strikes on Iran after the election, President Trump said that anything is possible

FO view: This puts a date on escalation risk just as Iran's leadership was talking about terms to end the war, so the Gulf risk premium in oil looks set to stay rather than fade.

Not investment advice.
