There is a definite reason the Biden Administration is downplaying these attacks. Given that they still hope to get hostages back despite the fact that Israel has gone back onto offensive operations. The real main reason is GOLD. We saw the breakout Sunday that was precipitated by the original reports of US warships being fired on by dones which the Pentagon had no problem confirming immediately. Once they got the catalyst to allow the bankers to run gold up over $2100($2143) they monkeyhammered it down over $100 with the usual naked short selling. They aren’t ready for Act2 just yet. The bankers need to cover those shorts and reload on the long side before they let any bullish narrative like additional threats to US warships get widescale media coverage. Their timeline is likely closer to year end. Whether they will be able to keep gold under wraps for that long is suspect. Gold may not break back out over $2150 before Jan. 1, but it isn’t going much lower than $2020. Does it trade quietly, sideways for a month, possibly but unlikely. Given all the central bank buying throughout 2023 and my expectation for a global revaluation of the recognized world price, sooner rather than later for $2200+ is a reasonable expectation. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-officials-accuse-biden-admin-downplaying-attacks-iran-backed-houthis
