Yeah, prices took a jump this morning. There's $100 million in military hardware down the tubes.

BREAKING NEWS:President Trump says Iran might have mistakenly shot down U.S. drone. Details to come.

All I can say is I'm glad I'm not an Iranian manning a SAM missile battery anywhere near the Persian Gulf/Strait of Hormuz. I suspect their life-expectancy may drop significantly in the next few days.

Yeah, I was wondering if there were a few pilots just waiting to be lit up by a SAM radar and then let a HARM loose.

Iranians are idiots. Has to be the inbreeding.

They hit the RQ-4, tried to hit an MQ-9, mined the oil tankers, and they think this is going to end well for them...

So dumb...

Artificially increasing oil price is stupid. It ain't 1970s anymore. Even full OPEC are not price maker anymore. Iran just has fraction of oil supply. I hope this will teach iran and other turds who plans to artificially increase the price a lesson.
Market will immediately correct the price. Other OPEC, US/Canada, Russia will most likely fill the supply.

I can't believe Iranian try to play oil supply panic bullshit that worked in 70s. These guys are lower than Velenzuela govt Maduro turds.

Sounds like someone got a rebate on their life:

From FoxNews.com:

The Trump administration made a last-minute decision to call off retaliatory strikes against Iran in response to the downing Thursday of a Navy drone that Washington said was over international airspace, a source told Fox News early Friday.

But few details about the aborted mission and the circumstances that led to the reversal were available.

Multiple news outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press, reported similar accounts ? citing unnamed sources. These reports portray a mission that would have targeted Iranian missile batteries and radars. No shots were fired and no missiles were launched, according to the AP.

Psychological warfare?

One has to wonder what is motivating Iran, other than trying to promote the return of the 12th Imam.

From what I got of the news this morning, after Trump found out that the Iranian body count was estimated at 150, the response wasn't proportional to an unmanned drone being shot down.
