All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in the Middle East.

We had Iran's retaliation a couple of days ago.

We are now waiting to see what's going to happen with Israel's response, a possible response,

what the United States is going to do.

An interesting article that came out from Politico, which talks about Biden's frustration

with Netanyahu, but also talks about how Biden is going to continue to escalate.

At least, that's the impression that I got after reading this political article.

And if we are heading for a big wider war, or if this is something that can be avoided,

it does look like Iran's retaliation the other day, 180 plus missiles into Israel, was meant to be

another warning, I guess, to Israel and to the United States, but also as a way to signal

that Iran doesn't want a wider conflict. At least

that's the way it looks. The targets that were picked out were military facilities, I believe,

one casualty. At least those are the reports. But a lot of damage was done to these facilities,

to these facilities. At least that's how things look, even though there's a lot of fog of war going on.

But we are now waiting to see what is going to happen with a possible response from Israel.

They have promised a response, and they are coordinating with the United States to

formulate that response. The political article, by the way, Alexander, before you give us

your thoughts. The political article stated that Biden is pressing that in Yahoo not to go after

nuclear facilities and that the United

States is is trying to to persuade to to advise Israel as to the targets that they are going

to hit in their response.

They're talking about proxies, Iranian proxies, Yemen, Syria, and stuff like that.
