Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.

Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

Iranian oil exports are collapsing:

Iran exported just ~209,000 barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in May, the lowest since early 2020.

This marks a -84% decline from April levels, which stood at 1.34 million barrels per day, and -89% from March levels, which were at ~1.90 million barrels per day.

As a result, China's imports of Iranian crude fell to 1.10 million barrels per day in May, the lowest since January 2025, according to Kpler.

This comes as the US naval blockade, which took effect on April 13th, has severely restricted Iranian exports by preventing most vessels from entering or departing Iranian ports.

Meanwhile, Iranian floating storage has declined -43 million barrels since late April, to ~147 million barrels, with ~67 million barrels stranded inside the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman and unable to reach buyers.

If these conditions persist for another 2 months, Iran could effectively run out of oil available to ship to China, its largest buyer.

Iranian oil shipments are declining at a rapid pace.

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.

50 Million shares must be purchased by June 26th. The share price will act a little more sane, and steady, very soon. If this stock could hold its gains, it would already be 50+. It will hold its gains, very soon. We are at the bottom of a VERY BIG MOVE.

Fund managers will be getting in all month long.

New money has been pouring into the sector, especially since the White House Negotiations w The Drone Industry WSJ news came out. The follow up to that announcement could come at any time.

54B + 15B for drones and autonomous warfare in 2027, for the new pentagon budget, compared to 226M in 2026.

According to reports, Iran has carried out another major airstrike targeting Kuwait’s oil infrastructure. The attack is being described as one of the most significant strikes so far, sending shockwaves across the region.

The latest escalation has sharply increased tensions between the two countries, raising fears of a broader confrontation in the Middle East.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee said in a CNBC interview that the AI selloff is just the market catching its breath after a parabolic month.

The bigger culprit is SpaceX needing to suck $75 billion out of the market, forcing investors to trim their winners to free up cash.

He believes this is not part of a broader correction, but he predicts that later in the year we'll see what feels like a bear market.

I don’t have Forbes Premium, so this is the best I could do:

🗣️ “In November, Ondas acquired Sentrycs (an Israel-based startup founded in 2017 by veterans of the IDF’s elite 8200 unit) for $225 million. Sentrycs software is central to Ondas’ broader drone-defense platform, which also includes net-based drones and missiles already deployed in the Middle East.

Quotes from @CeoOndas:

🗣️ “If you’re in this industry, the biggest surprise is we haven’t had that 9/11 event. We have a massive country with massive vulnerabilities that we never had just 12 months ago.”
🗣️ “Up until now, if you are at an NFL stadium, you see a drone coming and it’s got a bomb, you can’t touch it by regulations. That’s unacceptable.”
🗣️ “We don’t want to start doing the work after a bad event happens. Nobody’s going to go to a game again until that threat is mitigated. It changes everything.”

More on $ONDS:

🗣️ “Ondas Holdings plans to deploy its sensor-based Sentrycs system to protect crowded venues in states such as California, Massachusetts, and Florida.”

🗣️ “What works during the tournament could help shape how the U.S. protects the next run of high-profile events, from America’s 250th anniversary celebrations to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.”

The total numbers of drones delivered from the winners of Gauntlet I is incredibly underwhelming - bordering on pathetic.

I know SkyCutter have had issues with export licenses etc. coming from UK/Ukraine but 30,000 drones were ordered in MARCH.

Fast forward to JUNE and only 2,960 have been delivered and 1,920 of those still need to go through testing to be approved!

Some of the companies still have ‘ramping’ next to their names, indicating they’re still in manufacturing stage - not even in testing stage before shipping.

Companies have until August to complete their orders, if they don’t then they risk losing the order completely and runners up from Gauntlet I can take their place.

Guess who was one of the winners of the manufacturing section of the event? $ONDS partners, W S Darley.

They also achieved a perfect score on the Urban Strike and demonstrated partial-full success in kinetic strike.

They had 2,000 of Rift Dynamics/American Robotics’ Wåsp ready to go.

It’s all well and good scoring 80/90+ on the technical capabilities, but if you can’t scale the drones then what is the point?

When Ukraine are ramping up to 8-10 MILLION drones a year in 2026 and China in the TENS of millions already, how are the US so far behind that they’ve only managed to source 2,880 attritable drones in 2/3 months?

10,000 drones @ 75-80% capability is better than 2,000 drones @ 90-95%. The whole point is for them to be attritable, not perfect.

They need a serious reality check.
