Futures Tumble, Oil And Gold Soar On Reports Of “Huge Explosions” In Central Iran, Israeli Airstrikes In Iraq And Syria

Moments ago futures dumped, oil prices spiked, and treasury yields slumped amid social media reports and Reuters headlines that there have been three “huge explosions” near the central Iran cities of Natanz (location of an Iranian nuclear power plant) and Isfahan (location of the Iranian Nuclear Technology Center which is suspected of being the center of Iran’s nuclear weapons program), as well as simultaneous explosions in Iraq and Syria, where the Israel air force appears to be targeting pro-Iranian militias.

Wonder if Israel hit the actual nuclear facilities. If this keeps up, someone is liable to get hurt.

Western Rifle Shooters Association seemingly taken down before these strikes and (highly likely) imminent escalation. Most likely NOT a coincidence. The site is a valuable counter-propaganda asset that needed to be eliminated.
Iran most likely WILL counterstrike with massive waves of missile counterstrikes. The conservative MSM is now in full spin on how Iran will be defeated, yada, yada, yada. Support of Israel, yada, yada, yada. Public is being groomed and prepared for USA involvement.
The initial Iranian missile strike managed to penetrate THE MOST advanced and heavily protected IDF airbase in Southern Israel that had the most advanced air defensed systems on the planet. Five to seven hypersonic warheads penetrated the defenses there. Also hit was another IDF airbase along with a IDF intelligence base that was wiped out. Total silence on this last target BTW.
The initial Iranian strike cost the IDF and allies 1.4 billion dollars in air defense munitions to defend against. I would guess that a massive strike of over 1,000 weapons could cost up to 55 to 75 billion dollars worth of air defense munitions--seriously depleting stocks. A subsequent strike could nearly deplete air-defense assets. A prolonged war could cost Israel and the USA (when it becomes involved) would cost several trillion dollars and destroy our economy.
I would hazard a guess that Iran has missiles tipped with radioactive materials (dirty bombs) or possibly a limited number of nuclear weapons to be used against Israel when this further escalates.

There is much good work to be done in this world; the powers that be only seem to want war. We watch them destroy us. Each day we get up and greet the sun with hope in our hearts that the bombing will stop.

Watch for the appearance of one that claims he can bring about world peace for he is antichrist.
His appearance could be sooner than we know.
May The Lord Jesus come soon!
