What that a question or just a general observation from your obviously well-educated point of view?

My question is, why wouldn’t oil go up and the Dow go down on this, if only a spike? I think it’s suspect.

How much are you shorting the market??

While just now becoming official that news has been known for a while.
Additionally, no American lives were lost so it does little to increase our tensions with Iran in the region.
Basically, what occurred has no effect on the US as a whole, so it has little effect on the market.

I think it was all wrapped up together. That plain came down in the middle of something bigger and got lumped into any flux in the market

Iran just murdered 170 innocent people, including a bunch of Ukrainians. There could be a Legit conflict in Middle East now. That kind of uncertainty should affect stocks and commodities, at least in the near term

Have you not been paying attention? There has been "legit" conflict in the Middle East for nearly two decades continuously.

All geopolitical bullshite is temporary anyway. Just stay the course and stop worrying about shite like Iran, China tarrifs, etc.
Keep a good portion of treasuries as a hedge and don't panic sell and you'll be fine.

If anything, Boeing stock should go up, as it’s now determined to NOT be another plane failure. BA is almost 8% of the DOW index, so that’s an uphill battle to be short against already.
Sorry you’re short right now... just remember, even if you think the market is “overvalued” or “stupid/fixed” whatever:
The market can remain irrational much longer than you can remain solvent.
For the record, the market is valued at a slight premium right now, but things are different today as well. There is simply no other place to put your money without losing to inflation. So, perhaps the historical valuation of the market is not the best indicator.
Besides that. The long term trajectory has always been bullish. Don’t fight it.

Exactly... at this point I think it'd be safer to say that we'd need to be cautious about the market if there was all of the sudden "Peace" in the middle east.

Maybe geopolitical risk is priced into the market, and this incident is merely representative of that risk. Not to mention that Iran is a non-participant/consumer for most US-traded businesses due to sanctions.
