🚨 Is the Iran conflict really about gold?

Most people focus on missiles, oil, and geopolitics.
But some analysts point to another factor: gold reserves.
Iran is believed to hold hundreds of tonnes of gold stored in cities like Tehran and Isfahan.
At the same time, gold prices are at record highs, and countries like China, Russia, and India have been aggressively increasing their reserves.
The theory: conflicts in resource-rich regions are rarely just about politics — they’re also about control of strategic assets like energy and gold.
Whether true or not, when gold, geopolitics, and global finance move together, markets usually feel the impact.
