A Galaxy Far Far Away... Feels A Lot Closer Now

I've seen my share of blaster fire from the sands of Tatooine to the ice plains of Ilum. But this situation between Israel and Iran? This ain't just a bar fight at the Mos Eisley cantina. Seems Israel decided to take matters into their own hands hitting what they call Iran's 'nuclear program' faster than a Mandalorian can disintegrate a bounty. Word is some big shots on Iran's side bought the farm... permanently. This is the way to escalating tensions alright.

The Price of Beskar... and Oil

With tensions flaring oil prices are up higher than a Sarlacc pit's appetite. Nine percent they say! Nine percent! That's almost enough to make me consider trading in the *Razor Crest* for a landspeeder... almost. And the stock market? Dropping faster than a Hutt's diet plan. Seems everyone's worried this little scuffle is about to become a full blown planetary conflict. Greef Karga would have a field day with these fluctuating credits.

America's Taking The High Ground... Or Not

The U.S. is playing the neutral card claiming they weren't involved. But word on the HoloNet is Trump knew something was cooking. Says they prefer a 'deal' but also don't want Israel 'going in'. Sounds like the kind of double speak you'd hear from a politician in the Galactic Senate. They pulled some personnel outta the region too saying it 'could be a dangerous place'. No karkin' shet!

This Is The Way... To Retaliation

Iran's not taking this lying down. They've launched a swarm of drones faster than Boba Fett chasing a paycheck. Israel's trying to intercept them but you know how these things go. One slip up and it's kablooie! The Iranian Supreme Leader is promising 'a bitter and painful fate'. Sounds like a threat Darth Vader himself would make.

Bomb Shelters and Chill... Not Really

Israel's telling its people to get into bomb shelters. 'Extended periods' they say. Sounds about as pleasant as spending a week trapped in a trash compactor with a dianoga. Airspace is closed flights are grounded. The whole place is on lockdown tighter than a Hutt's treasure vault. This is the way to a very stressful situation indeed.

The Galaxy Holds Its Breath

The UN's telling everyone to 'show maximum restraint'. Malaysia is telling Israel's 'partners' to apply 'maximum pressure'. Everyone's got an opinion but nobody's got a solution. Seems like this whole situation could go from bad to worse faster than a hyperdrive malfunction. I’ve got a bad feeling about this... and that's saying something for a Mandalorian.
