Bernice:

Well I did try to find ITYAR. The best I could do is find ITAR, and you slipped in a Y where an 'in' would be.
But ITAR is on the wrong track, Blackhawk Ben and Volker-Hellfire missiles are considerably more dangerous than anything the US military can throw.

I didn't think I was being too cryptic, but let me give you a few more pointers.

Blackhawk Ben is the nick (au courant circles) for Ben Shalom Bernanke, Current Chairman Federal Reserve, Chairman Council of Economic Advisers under G.W.Bush

Volcker = Paul Adolph Volcker, senior economic adviser to Obama, Chairman Federal Reserve under Regan and Carter.

The other characters, all of whom have missiles being pointed at them from the shores of the USA:
PBC - the main adversary
BOJ, ECB - Other main players
SNB - A player from a neutral country
RBA - Just for you, they are also a player, but a smaller one

Now a cryptic clue:
"Why does a dog wag its tail? Because the dog is smarter than the tail. If the tail was smarter, it would wag the dog."
