The war waged by the U.S. and Israel against Iran has dire consequences for the world. Yet the Americans could use a trick to solve their main problem.
One can only marvel at the mind-numbing analyses currently being published by certain media outlets.
The “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” wrote a few days ago that the worst of the war of aggression waged by the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran was ‘already over.’
Doubling within weeks
That this is merely an attempt to downplay the war of aggression by the Americans and Israelis – which violates international law – will become clear by today, Monday, at the latest.
After just a few days of military escalation in the Middle East, oil prices are already at the same level as during Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine back in February 2022.
The price of North Sea Brent crude rose by as much as 30 percent to 119.50 Dollars per barrel before falling slightly again on Monday.
However, the day’s high so far represents an increase of about 70 percent compared to the day before the start of this war in Iran.
Since the end of 2025, the price of oil has thus doubled, which over time will lead to ever-higher costs for petroleum products such as heating oil and fuels like gasoline, diesel or kerosene.
Turning reserves into cash
This rise in oil prices, however, nicely plays into the hands of the Russians, for example, because they are getting more for their “black gold” wherever they can still sell it to very willing buyers.
And on the capital markets, it is rumored that the Americans are also rubbing their hands with glee, even though inflation in the U.S. is heavily dependent upon the price of oil and is now likely to skyrocket.
The rationale, according to strategic analysts, is that the Americans could sell their strategic oil reserve at a peak price. The money would then be used to pay off their national debt, and the massive U.S. debt problem of around 38 trillion Dollars would be solved in one fell swoop.
So, the higher the price of oil, the higher the value of those U.S. strategic oil reserves.
Put options as an alternative
Since the Americans can effectively influence the course of the war of aggression themselves – meaning there is a so-called ‘moral hazard’ involved – they could end the war right after selling the options and then stock up again at lower oil prices.
These presumptions are therefore not implausible.
The U.S. under President Donald Trump could even buy put options on oil the day before entering into a ceasefire with Iran.
Once the situation calms down, oil and natural gas prices are likely to plummet again, making put options more valuable.
The world must therefore pay close attention to what the Americans are doing in the capital markets.
Stability in Leadership
The regime in Tehran has now designated Ali Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, as the new head of state.
muula.ch had already reported this correctly immediately after the Ayatollah’s assassination, based on insider sources, because Iran is thereby signalling a certain degree of stability.
However, there is thus far no sign of the change in leadership that the Americans and Israelis had sought to achieve in Tehran.
Indirect Attack on China
In self-defense, the Iranians are blocking the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world’s daily oil supply must pass.
This particularly affects China, India, and Japan, but also the rest of the world through rising prices.
In Switzerland, people will soon feel the full impact of this at the gas pumps – even with the strong Swiss franc, which only partially cushions the price hikes because the Swiss National Bank (SNB) is weakening the national currency on the stock markets.
Politically motivated media analyses are currently blatantly noticeable. There are, in fact, very few quality media outlets left – but all the more activist journalists.
