- 🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP’S IRAN AIR WAR COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS SUNDAY OR MONDAY Axios reports Washington and Israel are preparing for a bombing campaign lasting up to seven days against Iranian leadership, nuclear facilities, energy sites and other infrastructure. Ten U.S. cargo planes from Fort Bliss have reportedly landed at Israeli air bases, American tankers are already positioned in Israel, and a carrier group with roughly 9,000 personnel is only days away. Gulf states have reportedly been told to prepare for a short, intense campaign. The plan resembles Instant Thunder at Trump speed, compressing the five-ring targeting logic associated with the 1991 Gulf War into days. Iran has spent 35 years studying how the U.S. fights these wars, and it has already rehearsed possible retaliation against Kuwait’s water infrastructure, Saudi oil facilities and Riyadh’s airport. A seven-day air war could therefore produce economic consequences lasting for months. Even if the U.S. and Israel want a quick war, Iran has every incentive to escalate horizontally and prolong the conflict to impose maximum economic and political costs on American voters. That means higher risks for oil prices, gas bills, mortgage rates, retirement accounts and financial markets well into the spring. We could even be heading toward a global recession.
