U.S. and Iran are now playing missile tennis

Original version ·

Because the global economy wasn't stressful enough, America and Iran decided to spend their Saturday trading airstrikes like they're in a toxic relationship.

The weekend vibe was thoroughly ruined as military infrastructure on both sides got hit. The real prize everyone is fighting over is a tiny, super-congested chokepoint where a massive chunk of the world's oil flows. If that gets blocked, gas prices will make everyone cry.

It is essentially a high-stakes game of chicken with explosive hardware, and neither side seems to have a brake pedal.

Global shipping lanes are basically running on vibes and prayers at this point.
