ATH was <$148 and we're not even breaching COVID highs and we're down ~30% from three days ago.

That would be a foolish move for Iran, but they seem to be making a lot of foolish moves. Isn’t there a saying about never throwing away the moral high ground? As though they are trying to out-stupid Netanyahu’s man in the whitehouse.

They are attempting MAD but without nukes. The problem is that while the US seems to have obliterated Iran, they have no endgame plan on actually accomplishing a regime change. They thought about arming Kurdish Iranians but wen't against the idea, now we seem to be in a perpetual state of "it is over / it is not over".

Iran has perfected the "full of shit" playbook. The press repeat it because clickbait.
