UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President



Well, to be fair, Iran DID forewarn the U.S. back in February, that if they strike Iran, it will be a regional war, that includes economics. Considering that Iran secured and now currently controls BOTH the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, that's 40% of global trade. More powerful than any "Iran cannot possess a nuclear weapon" boogeyman nonsense. So, the Speaker of the Parliament, Ghalibaf is spot on when he mentions that the previously FREE moving, FREE cost Straits are no longer a constant that can be factored, much less fixed by adjusting interest rates.

From the Youtube link:

Hours before the U.S. Federal Reserve enacted a 25 basis-point rate hike, Ghalibaf posted a satirical, modified version of the Fed's famous "Taylor Rule"—dubbed the "Straits Taylor Rule." By adding variables for disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, Tehran is pushing a sharp message: you cannot fix a physical supply-side energy shock or open a blockaded shipping lane simply by tweaking interest rates. As Ghalibaf boldly noted: "You can't 25bp a chokepoint and r isn't neutral. It's SOH risk premium, and We set it."

"Not only crazy" is how Richard Gere describes Trump.

Asked by the Spanish news agency Europa Press whether events in the US worried him, Richard Gere answered: "Of course."

Then he went further. "We have a president who's not only crazy, he's a dark, dark presence," Richard Gere said. "Six months, he's almost destroyed our country."

“He happens to be a friend of mine,” President Trump said about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un when asked Tuesday why North Korea can have nuclear weapons but not Iran. “I’m about the only person in the entire world that he likes, and I like him.”
Trump then said, “As long as I'm around, he's going to be fine. You know why? Because he respects me and he likes me."
