The truth about Israel’s rumored strike on Iran
By Ian Bremmer

Interesting analysis. Short answer: Not in spring or early summer as Israel has signalled.

  1. That analysis looks sick to me. For one, it lists Bahrain as Iran's regional ally. Bahrain is ruled by Saudi aligned Sunnis who put the jack boot (whatever that is) on the throat of a Shia uprising, if I recall correctly...

  2. Don't know where he is coming from on that. Iran recently expressed support for the Shi'a community that is agitating against the Sunni regime.

    But let's hope is correct that an Israeli attack on Iran is not as imminent as many think.

  3. It ain't happening until after the Madonna concert, or the Israeli youths will be so upset.

  4. He is doubtless right on timing, but he is nonetheless another "useful idiot" for Israel. The assumption is always "they are wrong," "we are right." "And anyway, what are they doing sitting on our oil?"

  5. it's all propaganda

    they all are investing in oil futures and derivatives

    there is nothing stopping the falicious market place

    make the price rise and skim off a lot of loot with call options

    and then boot it off with more fiction and put a put to get more loot
