Jim Rickards – Trump: 'I Expect to Be Bombing' If Iran Ceasefire Ends

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he does not want to extend the ceasefire with Iran and added "I expect to be bombing" after the deadline passes.

During an interview on CNBC, Trump signaled a hard-line stance as negotiations continue, emphasizing that the United States holds a dominant military position and is prepared to act if a deal is not reached by the Wednesday deadline.

"Well, I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with," Trump said, while also noting that the U.S. military is "raring to go."

At the same time, the president expressed optimism that Iran could ultimately agree to terms, saying, "I think we're going to end up with a great deal. I think they have no choice… Iran can get themselves in a very good footing. If they make a deal, they can make themselves into a strong nation again, a wonderful nation again."

With both sides preparing for next steps, the coming days are likely to be critical in determining whether diplomacy or renewed military action will define the next phase of the Iran war.

The REAL Reason Trump Is Invading Iran

For a moment…

Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.

Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.

Because my research has led me to believe we’re risking World War 3 with Iran for a completely different reason.

Byron King – The Military “Tribe” Wants Containerized Warfare

“If it fits in a container, I want it.”

So said Admiral Daryl Caudle, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) this week in front of a large gathering of military personnel and contractors at the Sea-Air-Space Conference (SAS) in National Harbor, Maryland.

From industry, the Navy wants to see systems that “integrate, scale, and can be deployed fast.” This gets to how it might be packaged, meaning literally in containers like the very portable missile system called “Advanced Reactive Strike Missile” (ARES), developed by Northrop Grumman.

And where will these containers go? Quite literally, almost anywhere. You can put them on the deck of a large ship, medium size, or even a small vessel not much different than a service boat that hauls cargo out to, say, an offshore oil rig.

Military procurement is changing fast, as are the requirements for what gets delivered. There’s more understanding of the idea that military power is directly downstream from industry and energy. And not a moment too soon, some might say.

This is how nations win wars, and along the way it’s very investable.

Markets:

Matt Badiali – Gold Price Extends Decline Amid Mixed Signals on U.S.-Iran Talks

Gold prices extended declines on Tuesday, as investors remained cautious over U.S.-Iran negotiations to end the near-two-month war that has intensified global inflation concerns.

Spot gold fell more than 1% to trade at around $4,763 an ounce – its lowest in over a week. U.S. gold futures saw a slightly lower decline of 0.6%, trading at near $4,800 in New York.

“Markets are hesitant about a potential deal between the U.S. and Iran, given the weekend’s developments and mixed rhetoric,” Zain Vawda, analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA, said in a note to Reuters. “This is keeping bulls in check for now and may confine gold to a tight range until certainty arrives.”

Since the Middle East war kicked off at the end of February, bullion has fallen by about 10% as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted flows of the global energy supply. This reduced expectations of monetary easing by central banks, causing headwinds for assets like gold that thrive in a low-interest environment.

In recent weeks, however, the yellow metal has been showing signs of recovery as the sides started talks to end the war, though gold investors remain on edge for the time being until a resolution is reached.
