Amidst rising tensions between Israel, the United States, and Iran, a senior Israeli official stated on Saturday that a proactive Israeli military operation before the upcoming elections is not anticipated. The official conveyed that as long as Iran does not make any missteps, Israel will not initiate a new military campaign before the vote. This assessment comes as Iran replenishes its ammunition and the U.S. prepares for midterm elections in November. The escalating security concerns have also impacted the global economy. Bitcoin experienced a significant drop, falling below $83,000 to $82,734 on Wednesday, its lowest point in October. This decline is attributed to the renewed tensions surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with rising oil prices and U.S. bond yields. Conflicting messages regarding the Strait of Hormuz further contribute to market uncertainty. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserted that Iran has "lost complete control" of the strait, claiming oil flow has nearly returned to pre-war levels.
