🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 $FHE | $FRAX — TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKE MENU: GOOD, BAD, & UGLY
This isn’t saber-rattling — it’s a menu of bad choices, each with real macro fallout.
Option 1: Kill Khamenei
Cleanest on paper. In reality? He’s underground, has already named three successors, and any strike means bombing Tehran while protests are still active. High risk, low payoff.
Option 2: Hit the Basij
These are the forces actually shooting protesters. Targeting barracks and command centers avoids boots on the ground and hurts repression directly.
Downside: the regime instantly plays the “foreign invasion” card.
Option 3: Nuclear sites
Already being pitched by Benjamin Netanyahu.
Doesn’t change the regime. Just hands them a rallying cry and costs billions to rebuild what’s already been hit.
The real nuclear option isn’t nukes — it’s oil.
Kharg Island moves ~90% of Iran’s crude.
One strike cuts regime funding for crackdowns and proxy wars.
Sounds perfect… until reality hits.
Iran closes Hormuz → ~20% of global oil supply vanishes overnight.
Gas prices explode. Inflation spikes.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already panicking about economic chaos.
Bottom line:
You can cripple the regime
or keep oil flowing
You don’t get both.
