A Great Disturbance in the Force: US Enters Iran-Israel Conflict, Oil Prices Soar!

A New Hope...or a New War?

Hmm a great disturbance in the Force I sense. The US it has entered the fray between Israel and Iran. Nuclear sites they bombed. Fordo Natanz Isfahan... names now whispered with fear. A 'very successful attack,' President Trump proclaims 'NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!' But peace is it? Or a path to the Dark Side this is?
