Israel Attacks Iran to Stop Trump?

June 13, 2025 | Israel Attacks Iran to Stop Trump?

Martin Armstrong

Martin Arthur Armstrong is current chairman and founder of Armstrong Economics. He is best known for his economic predictions based on the Economic Confidence Model, which he developed.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, either the world is using Socrates, or this is always one hell of a coincidence, which I do not believe. The defense stocks moved days before the Hamas attack. You projected that the war would start in Ukraine more than a year in advance. When are you going to come clean and explain how you do this? There was a daily panic cycle here, and this was the week with escalating volatility into the end of June, which you also forecast. HOW?

ANSWER: Look, I have stated many times that when I created this model, it was for trading markets. Never in my wildest imagination did I think it would forecast wars. That cost me years of my life trying to protect the source code. Yes, this appears to be on track to escalate here in June. Our models for Iran show the week of June 30th. Beware of July. I will do a special report on that.

Suffice it to say, I believe that Israel broke with Trump not unlike the EU. I think Israel feared that Trump and Iran appeared to be close to a preliminary agreement that included provisions about uranium enrichment that Israel refused to accept. This is all I know from my sources right now.
