JPMorgan CEO Cheers 45 Years of Iran’s Proxy War Sponsorship Like It’s His Portfolio
KEY POINTS
- •JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said on The Axios Show that Iran’s 45-year involvement in proxy wars and control of the Strait of Hormuz is baffling to Western powers.
- •Speaking from JPMorgan’s new Manhattan headquarters, Dimon highlighted Iran’s nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile range of nearly 3,000 miles, and terrorist funding activities.
- •Despite admitting the ongoing war raises short-term economic risks and oil price uncertainty, Dimon expressed hope for a peaceful outcome in the Middle East.
Jamie Dimon, high priest of Wall Street and the man behind JPMorgan Chase’s global HQ at 270 Park Ave, doubled down on the Iran drama by calling their 45-year proxy war binge 'a grip' on the Strait of Hormuz – which somehow Western leaders have tolerated longer than most TikTok challenges. Dimon slammed Tehran for being the world’s long-distance missile launchers and terrorist crowdfunding HQ, despite the regime surviving assassinations like a bad sequel no one asked for. While acknowledging short-term oil chaos, Dimon essentially prays for Middle East peace like a hedge fund manager hoping for fireworks without portfolio damage.
