Let me offer discussion points on why they decided to bomb Kharg Island. The administration and military planners likely concluded that it would take weeks, if not months, to secure the Strait of Hormuz. During that time, oil prices could rise to levels that would suffocate the global economy. This was unacceptable. They are desperate for immediate action. So, they needed a bold, decisive move to force Iran to relent quickly. Trump was clear. They bombed Iranian military structures on Kharg but left the oil infrastructure unharmed (assuming this is accurate). Recognizing that this could freak out oil markets, they announced it on Friday evening to give markets 48 hours to digest the news. Trump also made it explicit that oil infrastructure would be next if Iran did not allow ships to pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz. In football terms, they're throwing a Hail Mary pass now, hoping it works. They don't have any more time on the clock. Oil markets and the world economy cannot wait weeks or months for the military to open the Strait. Further, I could envision political advisors suggesting that if oil prices are destined to hit $200 without this action, it might as well happen next week, giving six months to bring them down before the midterm elections. As I've argued in many other posts, Trump cannot simply declare victory and pull out (TACO). That would be worse. It would leave Iran in control of the world's economic jugular, allowing it to punish everyone by permanently holding oil at $200. So, they must force Iran to relent. Again, these are just the thoughts running through my head as I try to explain to myself why they took this step.

"I don't know who else you're going to use as an official oracle platform if you're a public company." @TheRollupCo: "You're gonna use Chainlink."

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan on Chainlink: “If you talk to the average institutional investor they’ve never heard of Chainlink” “If Chainlink were a software company in a traditional C-corp wrapper, it would be one of the hottest tech plays in the market right now” Historically, the best investments were the ones few understood at the time, yet had enormous market opportunities To me the information asymmetry around $LINK is what makes it such an asymmetric bet

Swift’s work with Chainlink & UBS is a major milestone for institutional adoption of onchain finance. Together, Swift & Chainlink enable institutions to access blockchains while continuing to use the systems they already rely on today. This is how global finance moves onchain.

Leading crypto-exchange @krakenfx will run its own Chainlink node to broadcast Kraken spot prices on-chain. The #Chainlink node allows Kraken to both sign its data to prove its origin and supply its Oracle Rates to power a wide range of #DeFi applications.

Your stack, upgraded. Plug Chainlink standards into the systems you already rely on to unlock digital asset workflows at scale. No rebuilding. Just use Chainlink.
