“War Is Profitable”: Will Silver Price Rally Because of the US-Israel-Iran War?

Robert Kiyosaki is in Vietnam right now, and his latest post is going viral.

The Rich Dad Poor Dad author took to X today to make a case he’s been building for years – that war isn’t just a human tragedy, it’s a financial system. And that system runs, in part, on silver.

What Kiyosaki Actually Said

Kiyosaki pointed out that modern rockets carry between half a pound and four pounds of silver each, which is metal that’s gone the moment they detonate.

“Silver stackers get richer as people on both sides pay the price in blood, sweat, tears, and money,” he wrote.

He leaned on Eisenhower’s warning about the military industrial complex to make the point: the people supplying war profit from it. The people fighting it don’t.

It’s not a new argument. But with the US-Israel-Iran conflict actively escalating, the timing is important.

Silver Has Surged 150% Since Last Year

Silver has surged more than 150% year-on-year, climbing from around $32 per ounce in 2025 to above $80 in early 2026. Safe-haven demand is rising alongside fears around the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a significant chunk of global oil shipments.

Kiyosaki has publicly called for silver to reach $200 in 2026. The war is making that prediction look a lot less extreme.

Where Silver Stands Right Now

Silver is trading at $84.33, up 2.51% in the last 24 hours.

The metal hit a record $116 in late January before crashing nearly 40% to $70.90 in early February. The Iran conflict actually worked against silver for much of last week – rising oil prices stoked inflation fears, pushing the dollar higher and delaying Fed rate cut expectations to late 2026. Non-yielding assets like silver took the hit.

Friday’s jobs report changed the mood fast. A surprise drop of 92,000 in non-farm payrolls and unemployment rising to 4.4% raised the chances of earlier rate cuts and silver bounced.

The Crypto Connection

Kiyosaki didn’t mention Bitcoin in today’s post, but his broader thesis has always tied all three together – gold, silver, and Bitcoin as protection against what he calls “fake money.”

When governments spend big on war, they print to cover it. That erodes purchasing power. That’s the exact setup Kiyosaki has argued pushes real assets higher.

He closed his post with this: “Today I fight for peace and freedom, and real financial education… not war.”
