Step 1: **Hint something ->** liberation day, to iranian protestors help is on the way

Step 2: **Posturing and Positioning ->**How US is getting ripped off by everyone, send ships near Iran, send ships near venezuela

Step 3: **The strike after market close** \-> Liberation day announcement, Maduro operation, Operation Epic Fury,

Step 4: **All financial asset goes lower as they furious reprice Trump's actions**

Step 5: **Trump hints at something that will last a long time** \-> Tariffs, War with Iran, Risk assets goes down further

Step 6: **De-escalation signals appear ->** Countries begging us to reach deals, We are in negotiation with Iran

Step 7: **Feedback Loop and further threatening** \-> Keep saying crazier and crazier things like sending Iran back to stone age, 100% tariff on China, Destroy entire Iranian civilization **<- We are here**

Step 8: **The Deal** \-> resolution happens and it is a lot better than what markets expect, asset prices repositions rapidly. Trump furious reframe the narrative and goals to not look so bad.
