The best way to hedge against war with Iran

Most investors think Europe is the biggest threat to their money right now.
But they’re wrong. The threat posed by Iran’s race for nuclear weapons is greater.
Yes, the situation in Iran is nothing new. Iran has wanted nuclear weapons for a long time. And the rest of the world doesn’t want that to happen.
But it looks like we’re approaching a crunch point. And that’s why you need to act to protect your wealth now.

 

The threat posed by Iran

Iran’s nuclear programme has been a niggling worry for the rest of the world for years now. The country says it just wants to be able to use nuclear power as an energy source. But given its massive oil reserves, no one believes that.
The trouble is that some scientists believe that Iran may now be little more than one month away from getting enough uranium for a nuclear warhead.
Israel in particular, as an obvious target, is very worried about this prospect. Few countries in the world would be viewed as potentially unhinged enough to actually make use of a nuclear weapon, but there are just enough doubts about Iran’s leadership to keep the world on its toes if they were to acquire one.
While both the US and the European Union have announced wide-ranging energy and financial sanctions, China continues to buy large amounts of oil from Iran and invest in its energy industry.
As a result, the pressure on Tel Aviv and Washington DC to take more direct action will only increase. And although we’ve heard this sort of sabre-rattling before, the killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist earlier this month is a sign that Israel’s patience is at breaking point.
