\u00a0\u00a0\u200b\u200bRead More<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u200bA new global financial shock appears to be forming behind the scenes, centered on Iran and the explosive dynamics of oil risk, according to the “Socrates” computational model developed by legendary financial and geopolitical analyst Martin Armstrong. He warns that a domino effect has begun that will not stop at energy but will spill over directly into banks and global debt. The question now is not whether turbulence will come, but how violent the next phase of this financial shock will be. Specifically, Armstrong warned in May 2026 that “Iran will bomb the United Arab Emirates to trigger a financial collapse.” Subsequently, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the US and Iran, and many believed that the war and crisis were heading toward de-escalation.The price of oil dropped below $70 a barrel, and a sense was created that everything would be resolved through a 60-day ceasefire. However, the scene now appears to be reversing, with attacks from Iran, counter-attacks from the US, and an escalation cycle that shows no signs of stopping. Martin Armstrong notes characteristically: “Iran is not stupid. When we had Covid, oil fell to $6.50 a barrel. It was below the cost of production. Governments borrowed to survive. All that debt still exists. In other words, a sovereign debt crisis can start in the Middle East.”He continues: “People are completely caught off guard because they believe there is plenty of money in the Middle East\u2014that is not true. Now they are like everyone else, with debts up to their necks. Iran is smart. It is not Venezuela. They are attacking the refineries of Gulf states and the Strait of Hormuz. They know this does not affect the United States, as the US is largely energy self-sufficient. It does, however, affect Asia and Europe.”According to him, the real goal is the financial asphyxiation of the Gulf states: “If they cannot sell oil, they will default on their loans. If they default on their loans, it will trigger a banking crisis that will move directly to London. It is much more complex than most people think. Donald Trump understands that this is much bigger than the Strait of Hormuz and the price of oil.”Peace agreementArmstrong also adds: “There will be no peace agreement with Iran. There is a conflict of interest. Trump is trying to distance himself because of the mid-term elections, but Benjamin Netanyahu will run again and needs a victory\u2014something that, in my opinion, is impossible. The opposition in Israel is pressuring him intensely, saying he gained nothing from this crisis. If Netanyahu consents to peace, he effectively loses the election. Polls show that 61% of Israelis are against him.”Thus, according to Armstrong, no peace is expected with Iran for the remainder of the year, with the crisis likely extending into 2027. Regarding gold and oil, he predicts intense volatility: “The Middle East is chaos, and oil will skyrocket again after a low in July. Gold may find a bottom this week and then\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
