The war in Iran is still raging and, somehow, nobody knows what's going on. Are negotiations going to happen ahead of the ceasefire expiration? Who knows! Are gas prices on the rise? Yes, as of now, but maybe not! Can Israel be trusted to maintain current ceasefires? Not based on past actions! The reality of the Iran War is one where the entire situation changes on a dime, and no one can anticipate the next move – especially not the market. On the flip side, more and more Democrats are voting to limit offensive aid to Israel, but can they be trusted? Polling indicates that Americans despise our relationship with Israel, will OUR Democrats follow suit?
