Probably because Israel is going to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities in the next 2-4 weeks. Would cause instability for financial markets, of course.

Why 2 to 4 weeks and not a shorter timeframe?

I think it is more likely due to our invasive investigations of U.S. citizens using foreign banks than than anything else. If they were going to war why the heck would they care if some U.S. citizens had money in their banks or not?

Oil markets in particular.But sometimes major "surgery" is essential for an individual's (or nation's) very survival.

IRAN and then WWIII coming up on the close horizon.

I would think they are doing this as a head fake. Asking people to pull all US investment out of Israel serves no useful purpose. Netanyahu is too hard-headed to telegraph a real Iran strike with an announcement like this - if it is a real stike. My guess it isto put more pressure on the Mullahs to rid themselves of Ahamdinejad But, if it is real, it is strange!!!

I seriously doubt Israel will be attacking Iran anytime within the next 6 months.
