The Iranian government has said that it plans to initiate military retaliation for recent Israeli assassinations in Tehran and Beirut that have targeted high ranking officials of Hamas and Hezbollah respectively. The NYT story about the killing of Ismail Haniyeh being an inside job carried out by a planted bomb (something my sources have also told me is untrue) does not seem to have carried much weight, as were it true it would seriously dissuade any externally-directed response. I am not an alarmist and am often in the "Nothing Ever Happens" camp but I do believe that we are closer than we have ever been to a major regional war involving Israel, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and the United States. After the events of the past week any idea of a ceasefire or deescalation seems farcical. Iran may try to calibrate their response to avoid a major escalation but that is a very fine line to walk. The root of all this escalation is the failure to find a Gaza ceasefire and I fear that worse could be ahead.

Same as any war: profit off selling war supplies and aid. How do you think we avoid the impending economic depression? Same way we always do. Poke stuff til a fight breaks out and sell supplies to both sides and then sell aid to whoever survives.
