BREAKING: The S&P 500 has now erased -$4.5 trillion in market cap since the Iran War began on February 28th.



My reading of the situation is that the Iranians have memed themselves into believing they would eventually force the Israelis and Americans to beg for mercy due to a lack of interceptors, while the Americans have memed themselves into believing they could remove ~15-20% of the supply of oil, gas and various other products derived from them without causing a global economic meltdown at some point. I still think that the most likely outcome is that both sides will eventually wake up from their dream as reality hit them in the face and agree to return to something like the status quo ante which both sides will sell as a victory. The Iranians will get tired of being mercilessly pounded and realize that the Israelis aren't going to stop just because they can occasionally hit Tel Aviv with a missile, while eventually the economic consequences of the conflict will become clear and the pressure on Trump from voters pissed off by the price of gas, businessmen losing their customers, the Pentagon watching its supplies dwindle with no end in sight and allies whose economy is being raped will become unbearable, at which point Trump will seek to end the war, the Iranians will hopefully have been sufficiently pummeled to agree and Israel will have to do what Trump says.
