Israel may very well attack Iran’s nuclear facilities if the hardliner Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is re-elected tomorrow. Israel thinks that if elected, Ahmadinejad will continue to develop nuclear weapons.  And, Israel can’t afford to wait for international efforts to bring Iran’s enrichment to an end.

Detailed military plans to bomb Iran’s nuclear infrastructure have long been on the table in Tel Aviv.

Israeli daily Ha’aretz reported that Dennis Blair, the newly-appointed head of US intelligence, said Tel Aviv will eventually declare war on Tehran as a last-ditch effort to curb Iran’s enrichment capabilities.

And, former Israeli UN ambassador Dan Gillerman revealed that Tel Aviv is preparing a military offensive against the country.

War could be avoided if the Persian people elect the moderate political leader Mir Hossein Mousavi in tomorrow’s election.

Moderate ex-premier Mir Hossein Mousavi has emerged as Ahmadinejad’s main rival.  Mousavi believes Iran’s policy regarding its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.   And, he has stressed that Tehran is ready for talks on the country’s nuclear program.  Plus, Mousavi seems open to beginning a dialogue with America.

Also, Mousavi has vowed to reduce heavy inflation through monetary policies, and has stressed the need for boosting the private sector.

A vote for Mousavi is a vote for peace.

The Iranians will make a statement tomorrow:  Do they want war or do they want peace.

Expect a record number of voters to cast their ballots in the Iranian presidential election being held on June 12.  If a clear winner does not emerge on June 12, the election will go to a second-round runoff on June 19.

If the Iranians re-elect Ahmadinejad be prepared.  Israel could hit them hard.

Then, Iran will unleash Hezbollah on Israel.  Israel could be attacked by a Hezbollah’s massive number of rockets and missiles from Lebanon.

The whole situation could escalate onto a huge regional war bringing in other Arab countries and even the U.S.

War with Iran could easily spin out of control and if Israel really feels that their existence is in jeopardy–they may even use their nuclear weapons.

If that happens, Iran will be destroyed and gold will be over $5,000 per ounce!

Protect yourself against geopolitical turmoil:  Buy Gold

PowerShares DB Gold Double Long ETN (NYSE: DGP) is quick and easy way to leverage gold’s price movements.  DGP tracks an index of gold futures and is designed to return twice the change in the index.

ProShares Ultra Gold (NYSE:UGL) also moves two times the daily price change of gold bullion.

DGP and UGL are both good ways to speculate in gold short-term, but they have added risks. But if you want more of a long-term core position in gold, (NYSE:GLD) is a better choice.

Best Wishes,
