Iran Widens War to Whole of Middle East! Oil & Stock Market Crisis Looming! Crash Buying Briefing!
By 1M65  •  March 2, 2026
Iran has escalated the conflict beyond Israel — striking multiple Gulf states that host US military bases. Bahrain. Qatar. Kuwait. UAE. Saudi Arabia. Jordan. The Strait of Hormuz is now the key variable. Over 500 Iranian drones detected in the UAE. 165 ballistic missiles. Three civilians killed. Three US service members confirmed killed in action. This is no longer a limited retaliation. This is regional escalation. Oil closed Friday around $72 — before the full retaliation unfolded. Futures reopen Sunday night. Analysts expect a potential $10–$20 spike if disruption persists. If Hormuz is partially blocked, Brent could move toward $85–$95. If prolonged, $100+ is realistic. For Singapore, this matters: • We import almost all our energy • Oil feeds electricity and transport • Shipping insurance costs could surge • Inflation pressure could rise again In this video, I break down: • Why Iran is striking GCC states • The economic warfare strategy • What the Hormuz leverage play means • Updated casualty figures • Oil price scenarios • What disciplined investors should prepare for And for members of my Investing With Confidence course: I will be running a two-hour closed zoom class livestream (Tuesday 9–11pm): Hour 1 – Crash Buying Execution Masterclass Hour 2 – Members-only Q&A This is about preparation, not panic.
