Mowing the Lawn: Fear as Policy

We’re starting today with some critical updates on the Iranian War. This morning, Iran issued a bombshell statement, essentially drawing a line in the sand.  They announced that as of April 1st, any execution of their government staff will trigger a massive response. They specifically threatened to attack Microsoft, Google, and Apple facilities worldwide. This is a direct pressure move aimed at the Trump administration, whose key supporters have massive stakes in those tech giants—Apple alone has a $500 billion U.S. investment in manufacturing.
