Middle East Tensions Reach a Breaking Point

Trump is now openly considering joining Israel in a war against Iran. That decision would expose U.S. bases across the region to retaliation — and could trigger full-scale military escalation.

• VIX is back above 20
• Traders now need both trade war insurance and hot war insurance
• One strike on a U.S. base could flip this market upside down

You can’t be too bearish right now.
The geopolitical risk premium is back — and it’s not priced in.
