Yes, the situation in Iran is nothing new. Iran has wanted nuclear weapons for a long time. And the rest of the world doesn’t want that to happen.
But it looks like we’re approaching a crunch point. And that’s why you need to act to protect your wealth now.
A far better strategy would be to invest in defence companies. Planned cuts in military budgets on both sides of the Atlantic mean that the sector is looking particularly cheap just now, with higher dividend yields than the market average.
However, if action ends up being taken in the Middle East, this would surely lead to cuts being either cancelled or reversed. In any case, there is also likely to be increased investment in anti-missile systems and advanced fighter aircraft by Israel and other countries that feel threatened by Tehran.
