# U.S. Military Strikes Iran
On the morning of May 25th, I was sipping coffee humming a tune, opening my trading app to count my money—after all, the US-Iran ceasefire agreement is “just waiting for signatures,” inflation expectations are falling, and gold is bound to surge. Last night, I heavily longed my positions, expecting a bountiful harvest.
At that moment, my phone suddenly pushed a notification: “U.S. military airstrike in southern Iran!”
“Puff—” The coffee precisely sprayed onto the screen, and I saw the gold price drop like a cat with its tail stepped on, plunging $20. Meanwhile, my account balance performed a free fall, faster than Trump’s change of tone.
Magical Realism Settlement Sheet
Planned script: Iran signs the agreement → Gold skyrockets → I make money to buy a real gold necklace
Real plot: U.S. military missiles → Gold falls → My necklace turns into a red negative sign on the trading software
My friend comforted me: “That’s you paying for world peace!” I held my half-empty account in deep thought: So, the US military’s “self-defense airstrike” is essentially a “self-defense robbery” on my wallet?
Military Terminology Translator
Later, I carefully studied the U.S. military statement and finally deciphered the encrypted jargon:
“Protect the safety of troops” = Protect Wall Street short-sellers
“Restrain the use of force” = Restrain the amount that can push up gold prices
“Precise strike on military targets” = Precisely hit my stop-loss level
The most ironic is the Iranian air defense—whether they shot down the missiles or not, I don’t know, but they definitely shot down my last bit of hope.
Lettuce’s Enlightenment
When experts in the news analyzed “geopolitical risks pushing up safe-haven assets,” I had an epiphany while looking at the K-line chart:
The biggest risk in the gold market isn’t war,
It’s Trump’s Twitter and the U.S. military’s GPS!
Now I’ve changed my trading password to “NO_WAR_2026,” but I heard the Pentagon is developing technology to target retail stop-loss levels with missiles. Fellow gold traders, hold on and cherish every moment! $XPTUSD
