Short stocks make money
To normalize? Not come as a shock? Easier to accept? I dunno …
If i was serious about bombing someone i wouldn’t tell them so they could get defences in place
Maybe it’s a catch all announcement to be like … we’re aiming at facilities only - so that when non-targets pop, they have some way to create an excuse? I don’t know.
Not sure but the axios report of the actual attack came through on my feed ahead of this “announcement.”
that's the point.
Also, mainly for the markets - but also to get Iran to get it's defences out and ready, for striking.
They've been announcing it for about a month or so....
Perhaps as a last ditch effort to change everybody's minds.
- Bring the Iranians back to the negotiating table with better terms
- Make it harder for the Israelis to carry out the strike.
maybe it wasn’t a surprise attack.
They needed 200 bomber pilots to perform in the middle of the night. It might be better to prepare them and expect leaks than have the element of surprise
