The cost to the UK of the US - Iran War - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 6.03pm the following, " Government bond markets have all fallen since the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran, meaning the effective cost of borrowing for governments has shot up. " 

Let's Get Real:

This is bad for Government funding, that means the government can spend less on Defence, and other government priorities.  The shock from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has not really hit the UK yet, it will, the PM has warned inflation is coming, and the War is not finished as yet, it could days, weeks even months. Start saving those pennies.

Iran make a Deal - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.50pm post the following, " US president Donald Trump urged Iran Tuesday to “do the smart thing” and make a deal, saying even as a Middle East ceasefire teetered that he did not want to kill more Iranians.  " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS believes everything is a deal, that is a mistake in international politics, as LBJ found in the Vietnam War, he just wanted to get in a room with North Vietnam leader and do a deal, Hanoi was a national movement that wanted ONE Vietnam under the communism.  It is the same with Iran, a Revolutionary Government that is a Islamic theocracy, there is no talking to them, there can only be one winner.

Trump can crash the Iranian economy - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 5.02pm post the following, " Trump says he'll crash Iran economy 'because I want to win' " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS means it, the Iranian economy is FREE FALL already, inflation is in nightmare dreams in the West.  The Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is blocking Iran from selling its oil, thus funding the State and allowing Iran to fun Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.  Trump wants people out on the Streets, calling for the downfall of the Tehran Regime.
