This walks through the Iran trade scandal the way you'd walk through an architecture review: inputs, outputs, dependencies, and what happens when monitoring goes dark. DOJ Public Integrity reduced to 2 people, CFTC investigation closed, SEC enforcement director forced out, then six fresh Polymarket wallets cash out $1.2M on a classified military operation and someone loads $580M in oil futures right before a market-moving Truth Social post.

The strange stuff about the whole scam (pushing the world towards WW3 to make a few bucks) is that the markets are still buying the shit that comes out of Trump's orifices. Why does it still go up when he lies about the end of the war coming soon? Is it because the market participants think "Oh, everyone else will do X, so I better do that too!"?

Warning, AI slop.
