In light of the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict, financial commentator Robert Kiyosaki has sparked discussion about the implications for silver prices. Kiyosaki, currently in Vietnam, recently took to social media to assert that war is not only a tragedy but also a profitable financial system, particularly for commodities like silver.
Kiyosaki emphasized that modern weaponry, including rockets, contains significant amounts of silver, which is consumed during conflict. He wrote, “Silver stackers get richer as people on both sides pay the price in blood, sweat, tears, and money.” This perspective aligns with former President Eisenhower”s warning regarding the military-industrial complex, suggesting that those who supply the tools of war benefit financially while combatants bear the brunt of the consequences.
Since last year, silver has experienced a remarkable surge, increasing over 150%, with prices moving from approximately $32 per ounce to more than $80 in early 2026. Kiyosaki has predicted that silver could reach $200 by 2026, a forecast that now appears more plausible given the intensifying conflict.
As of now, silver is trading at $84.33, marking a 2.51% rise in the last 24 hours. Earlier in the year, it peaked at $116 but faced a significant drop of nearly 40% to $70.90 in February. Throughout the previous week, the Iran conflict had a counterintuitive effect on silver prices, as rising oil prices led to inflation fears and a stronger dollar, which consequently impacted non-yielding assets like silver. However, a recent jobs report indicating a drop in non-farm payrolls has shifted market sentiment, increasing the likelihood of earlier interest rate cuts and providing a boost to silver.
Although Kiyosaki did not mention Bitcoin in his recent commentary, he has historically linked gold, silver, and Bitcoin as safeguards against what he describes as “fake money.” He argues that government spending on warfare leads to money printing, which erodes purchasing power and drives investors towards tangible assets.
Kiyosaki concluded his message with a call for peace and financial education, emphasizing the need for awareness in these challenging times.
