While the American military is rallying allies to yet again help defend Israel against an expected Iranian attack, top American officials are simultaneously pressing partners to push Iran to not carry out a strike – or coordinated strikes with its proxy groups – and asking Israel for restraint to prevent a widespread war in the region.

We are selling 50 shares of Procter & Gamble at roughly $169.86. Following the trade, Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust will own 400 shares of PG, decreasing its weighting in the portfolio to 2.15% from 2.4%. In all the recent volatility, we’ve talked a lot lately about circling the wagons around high-quality companies that reported strong earnings this earnings season.
