Last night we got word that there was an assassination into Iran.

Iran is claiming that Israel launched an airstrike in Iranian territory

killing the leader of Hamas.

In Beirut there was an Israeli

airstrike killing another military leader and so this looks like a

direct escalation. Now Iran has ordered, according to the New York Times, a direct strike on Israel.

And I'm sitting there like rolling my eyes because, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, we get it.

I mean this is it. It's going to be an increments.

There's not going to be a single day where Iran just, you know, you see the Ayatollah

stand up on a pedestal and say, it's World War III, baby, let's roll.

It is going to be moment by moment, step after step, until at one point we say, hey, maybe this

regional conflict combined with the other regional conflicts is bringing us into or we are at

a World War III scenario.

Or it could just be this remains a regional conflict,

but the conflict of the Iran

has been bubbling up for decades.

So sooner or later, that powder keg is about to burst.

So we'll talk about that.

This is a crazy story.

I don't know if we've gotten

confirmation or a statement from Israel as to whether or not they actually

assassinated this guy, the Hamas leader. So we'll see but we do have other more fun
