Lets look at facts on ground. Israel wants to neutralise threat of Hamas and Hezbollah. 
 

Current Status: Hamas neutralised Hezbollah is almost neutlised. Israel will stop its operations against Hezbollah once Lebanon militarily becomes more powerful than Hezbollah. They will achieve it after Asads ouster. Why Asad ouster was important, because he provided link between Iran and Hezbollah.

 

Now American angle. American economy has many pillars but a key pillar is prtro dollar deal with Saudis. The day it was clear that Saudis are not renewing petro dollar deal, American economy started having issues. And in 2024 MBS let petrodollar expire. Now how America reacts if someone doesn’t sell petroleum in Dollars. It burns that country (iran Iraq lybia Syria Venezuela). Now Saudis are supposed to be friends to USA(goowill is big). So what Americans did, they are creating a situation where Saudis can het some sense and sign Petro Dollar again or Middle East as whole can forget its oil well(long project of schooling ME nation). Now if I was Iran, I will tell Americans, We will sign Petro Dollar as long as you are ready to screw my competitor Saudi. That would be great for future of Iranians but very difficult to achieve in diplomacy by Iranian.

 

Taking all of above into account you will find this war is nowhere like Vietnam

 

I agree with the petro dollar point, but thats a strategic view.

From tactical point of view, which any average american will see, is that Iran is not bending over and is fighting back. The longer it stays alive, more tough it will become for Trump to justify.

 

Plus, the narrative from Chinese media will paint the picture that US is losing its military equipments to Iran. 

 

Also, Israel wont allow US to go back unless its secures its borders. They have sniffed an opportunity and dont want to revert. Even if Trump wants to pause the war, Netanyahu wont do that.

 

Israel is fully aware that its next battle is going to be with Turkiye, and in order to do that, it need to suppress other enemies. Iran will fall, eventually, but not without a fight....US didnt expect this kind of retaliation.

It doesn’t matter, Indians died in a civilian ship with no weapons. India/MEA should acknowledge the unnecessary killing of Indian citizens in a war that was started by USA and ask for accountability. No need to hide under diplomacy.

So Indian sailors are being murdered and our govt is signing horrible trade deals...

What trade deals? None are signed or even negotiated as of now.

This Iran unrest has been a MASSIVE boon for option trades. Just good loss limit n position sizing is all that’s required.

China has done a big favor to the world by lowering oil imports. That is one of the main reasons oil price never shot up that much so far.


The other is just the fact that this situation is entirely under the control of one person. So the market is aware that if things go bad, it can easily be reversed in a short time. And also its path can be adjusted along its way. 
 

So long oil is a very risky proposition.

Another one

 

 

India has officially raised concern by summoning a diplomat from US. The language would’ve been more stronger than three people from India have died.

They can always hang the CIA operative caught in North East a few months back.

Would be apt response

Don’t think Modi!has it. Not even IG had the cohones to do it.  
 

The three Indians dying has hardly caused any outrage in the media debates or by the opposition. Looks like there is a media blackout on the news. RaGa should take this opportunity and raise it on the streets if he can do it.

India has no levers or appetite. We will have to just stick it out. Only indirect response would be to damage some of US based through militia in the region.
