Axios confrims us has started strikes on missile launchers in iran.

BREAKING: Iran has rejected JD Vance’s request to restart talks, saying it will take no new steps until the United States implements its seven conditions “all at once,” per an informed Iranian source to Al-Mayadeen and Fars News. The source said Vance recently corresponded with SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei, and called Trump’s claim that the letter was about equipment and medicine “completely false.” American reports of progress or an Iranian retreat are also incorrect, the source said. The conditions include ending all military actions, releasing frozen assets, lifting the naval blockade, and withdrawing U.S. forces from areas near Iran. Tehran has not yet responded to Vance’s letter. The red line remains. Washington can keep writing. Iran is not moving.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US and Iran are reportedly discussing a temporary peace deal, just 5 days before the midterm elections. Good for markets 🚀

TRUMP ADMIN IN ONGOING TALKS FOR TEMPORARY PEACE DEAL- SEMAFOR

🔴 Trump Admin in ongoing talks for temporary peace deal - Semafor

Based on options positioning, every trader out there seems convinced Trump will pull the trigger and attack Iran after the midterms. However, I do not think it ever happened that a military attack ended up being successful with ZERO element of surprise. The reason why I believe that Trump might continue to drag his feet - especially when the Houthis are already straining the Saudi Arabian military, and the country cannot sustain further damage to its oil infrastructure triggered by an assured Iranian counteroffensive against them and their strategic oil targets if Trump decided to escalate. Considering this, I believe many option traders will end up losing a lot of premium heading into the 20th of November expiry, while crude oil prices will nevertheless continue grinding higher because of the lack of crude oil supply from the Middle East that continues draining SPR and crude oil commercial inventories everywhere else in the world. Because of this, the longer the crude oil supply disruptions persist, the higher the chances of shortages to occur in the future when there won't be enough supply available to serve all the demand for fuel that, thanks to suppressed crude oil prices, remained sticky and elevated until now.

ARAB MEDIATORS ARE PUSHING IRAN FOR A DEAL ON IAEA INSPECTIONS AND U.S. SANCTIONS RELIEF - AXIOS

According to @BarakRavid of Axios, citing a U.S. official, U.S. Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Iran’s principal national security decision-maker to ram home the importance of the nuclear file being included in any discussions between the two belligerents of the currently lukewarm conflict. This comes as the U.S. maintains that the nuclear file must be included in any negotiations, as the negotiations are also likely centered on the administration of the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. economic coercive measures against Iran, and the ongoing blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iran, key points that Iran has yet to publicly budge on.

QATAR-LED MEDIATORS ARE PUSHING IRAN TO ACCEPT NUCLEAR CONCESSIONS TO AVERT MASSIVE U.S.-ISRAELI STRIKES AFTER THE U.S. MIDTERM ELECTIONS, WITH THE PROPOSAL ALLOWING UN INSPECTORS INTO IRAN’S BOMBED NUCLEAR SITES IN EXCHANGE FOR LIMITED SANCTIONS RELIEF AND ACCESS TO FROZEN FUNDS - AXIOS

Bullish on $MPT. Holding 10,025 shares at a $2.76 average. Recent asset sales are helping reduce debt, while the underlying hospital real estate remains irreplaceable. The balance sheet is improving, but the stock still trades as if the crisis is ongoing. A continued turnaround could lead to a meaningful re-rating from these levels. Hospital real estate remains mission-critical, debt reduction is accelerating, and sentiment is still extremely negative. If management keeps executing, I believe $4-$5 is achievable over the next 12-24 months, with $6-$8 possible in a full recovery scenario. Sometimes the best opportunities are found where fear is highest. #MPT #Investing #REITs

Bwahaha, they do... they actually think the equity is related to the viability of the company! $MPT
