Holy Guacamole! Tehran and Israel Throwing Down: Will the World End Up in the Frying Pan?

A Whiskers Twitching Situation

Madre de Dios! This is Puss in Boots reporting live from... well not the front lines because a cat of my stature doesn't do dirt. But I've got my tiny boots on the ground metaphorically speaking! It seems a rather spicy fiesta is brewing between Tehran and Israel. Missiles are flying faster than my sword and the defense minister is promising Tehran will "pay the price." One does wonder is that price in gold doubloons? I certainly hope so!

BOOM! Pow! and Market Yawns?

Now you'd think with all this kabooming the markets would be running around like headless chickens or perhaps like Dulcinea when she spots a particularly handsome dandelion. But surprisingly not so much! Oil prices went up and then down like my mood after a bad batch of leche. Gold that shiny temptress did a little dance but nothing too scandalous. Even the Tel Aviv share indices decided to have a little party! Are they all loco? Perhaps they've been drinking too much catnip tea.

Iron Dome vs. Innovative Methods

Ah the Iron Dome a marvel of engineering! It's like my impenetrable defenses when trying to resist a bowl of cream. However it seems Tehran's Revolutionary Guard came up with some "innovative methods" that even made the Iron Dome sweat a little. They claim they disrupted the enemy's defenses so much that the defense systems started fighting each other! It reminds me of that time I tried to teach Donkey to fence. Chaos I tell you pure chaos!

Strait of Hormuz: Keep Swimming

And now the Strait of Hormuz that narrow waterway vital for oil. It's got investors on edge worried about crude supplies like worrying about how much milk you have to put out for Puss in Boots. If it gets blocked well that's a problem. A big one. Bigger than my ego which is saying something!

Uncle Sam's Role: The Great Question

Enter Uncle Sam! With the cancellation of those nuclear deal talks and Trump's strong anti Tehran history everyone's watching to see what America will do. Will they send in the cavalry? Or will they sit back and enjoy the show with a bucket of popcorn? It’s difficult to tell since they are as unpredictable as my past lives...

G7 Summit: A Lot of Chatter and Perhaps a Plan

The G7 is meeting those heavyweights of the world order. Will they be able to work together and get a handle on the situation? Or will they just bicker and point fingers? One can only hope they'll come up with a solution. Something that avoids a full blown catastrophe perhaps? Maybe they should listen to this feline because Puss in Boots never fails.
