The Iran War Just Broke the Petrodollar
  • The virtuous loop that has seen America underwrite stability in the Middle East in exchange for Gulf states recycling their dollar revenues into US Treasuries has been broken.
  • Foreign central banks have been net sellers of Treasuries for consecutive weeks, with holdings at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York dropping by roughly $82 billion to $2.7 trillion.
  • The US-Israeli war with Iran has fractured the petrodollar loop at both ends, with oil-importing nations selling Treasuries to limit depreciation and Gulf producers unable to export oil due to the Strait of Hormuz closure.

The first guy was rescued via helicopter and the second guy required 48 refuelling tankers, 68 fighter jets, 13 rescue aircraft and 4 bombers. Even though they knew exactly where he was with the beacon. Sounds like something bigger was happening than it being just a pilot rescue.

The Americans made one strategic mistake. They made it a long time ago. They abandoned the concept of layered air defence using a variety of systems and stuck with just the Patriot. Which is extremely limited in its firing range. It uses azimuth guidance. It sits in its launch position and fires at targets within a 90-degree sector. Overwhelm that launch position and anyone can come in and take whatever they want. And THAAD is a missile defence system. They’ve taken out its radars, and now Iranian ballistic missiles are running riot there as if they were at home.
