Roman Gofman, the director of Mossad, was in Washington on Friday for talks with senior Trump officials about the war in Iran, Axios reported. At 8:30 that morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that wholesale prices rose 6.5% in the year to October, the most since November 2022.
Iran and inflation are one story. Benjamin Netanyahu is pressing Donald Trump to resume the war, Axios reported, and Americans are still paying for the part already fought.
The 6.5% is a wholesale figure. No yearly consumer figure exists for October, because the bureau collected no data during last year's shutdown.
Our case starts with a number that fell last month while prices rose.
