Are insider traders making millions from the Iran war?

The BBC has identified significant spikes in trading activity by insiders shortly before US President's announcements regarding the Iran war. The analysis found that these traders made substantial profits from buying and selling shares related to companies involved in the conflict. The spikes occurred around specific dates when key statements were released, including a 2019 announcement about increased sanctions on Iranian oil exports. Insiders who bought and sold shares during this period saw significant gains, with some reportedly making millions of dollars. The BBC investigation suggests that these traders had access to non-public information, potentially giving them an unfair advantage in the market. Further analysis is needed to determine the extent of insider trading in relation to the Iran war.
