CNBC’s Jim Cramer warned investors Tuesday against trading on headlines around the U.S.-Iran conflict, citing an unpredictable stock market that’s steeped in uncertainty.

“We’ve got so many narratives going thanks to this war that I think trying to trade off it may be a waste of time and a waste of money,” the “Mad Money” host said. “Here’s the bottom line: … it makes more sense to sit on your hands.”

That’s because, according to Cramer, mixed signals between President Donald Trump and Tehran make it nearly impossible to bet on the war’s outcome.
