This whole Iran thing seems to have been a collusional setup.

US uses a Hellfire Missile to assassinate 1 x Iranian General
Highly visible public display (why?)
Operating in a third party's air space (Iraq) - WITHOUT their permission or knowledge
On a vague premise of "he was planning to do nasty things to Americans"
In typical US fashion - there was no evidence to back up their claim (remember the WMD claims against Saddam in Iraq?)
Gold went up $50
In reply, Iran stated they were going to let loose all hell etc & run the red flag up the mosque flag pole
Gold went up another $50
Trump replied in typical bully talk fashion with dire warnings
Iran fired off 12 - 20 "highly accurate" ballistic missiles on 2 US airbases in Iraq
Strangely, no US deaths - or even casualties and only minor damage was done (seems the US were given advance warning?)
Iran stated they had concluded their retailiation
Trump addressed the nation with "All went well" and no need to worry as Iran standing down
Trump states Iran can prosper with their mighty potential etc etc
Gold goes down by $100
Evidently, both sides of the House have been shown the "evidence" of the Iranian General's imminent terrorism - hence why Trump struck without getting approval from Congress. A number of Democrats and also some Republicans have already stated they did not see anything remotely akin to such evidence.

Taken in its entirety, it don't make sense to this Kiwi fella down here at the bottom of the world. For some reason, I get the feeling something else is going on in the background. Maybe it is just Trump trying to deviate attention away from his impeachment - or part of his re-election game plan.

But my belief hasn't changed that these last few days is just another example of a side show to the main event. If people don't know what the "main event" is going to be by now, then they are obviously on the other side of the trade. IMO, the world economy is on its last legs.

There is always something else going on in the background... plenty of interesting reading here...
