@zerohedge Why would Iran éver give up Hormuz? Imo it is Americans biggest gift to Iran, to have started the war. Iran has discovered a hidden power thanks to the US: Hormuz.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s Foreign Ministry just slapped down the hype:

“Reports regarding a possible agreement are pure speculation as nothing has been finalized.

We have not reached a final agreement on a deal.”

While Trump is out there saying the deal is basically done and could be signed this weekend, Tehran is publicly saying “not even close.”

The gap between Trump’s victory lap and Iran’s cold water is almost painful.

Another round of smoke and mirrors, or the deal is quietly falling apart again?

@MarioNawfal Zoooo… weet de Nato dit al? Windmolens zijn een gevaar voor de nationale veiligheid. Door de windmolens kunnen vijandige drones onzichtbaar worden op de radars en pas weer zichtbaar worden als het te laat is.

🇺🇸 Sec Burgum said wind turbines are a national security threat.

According to a report from Hegseth, drones could fly through a wind farm and basically disappear from radar until they’re already through.

(They really hate wind)

@MarioNawfal Trump is a gemini. Does he even know what he wants?

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

This is one of Tucker's most explosive interviews about Trump, Iran, and who is actually in control of the U.S

He said Trump was pressured into a war he didn't want, knew it was a bad idea, understood it could wreck his presidency and blow up the global economy... and did it anyway.

Not because he was fooled or misinformed, but because he couldn't stop it.

Think about what that means.

Trump spent years campaigning against forever wars. If he understood the risks of attacking Iran, hated the idea of another Middle East disaster, and yet ended up there anyway, then the story isn't about Trump.

It's about the forces that were able to move him so far away from his campaign promises and values.

And Tucker goes there.

He talks about the donors, Netanyahu, the pressure Trump was put under, and how he changed after the Butler shooting.

He also talks about why he believes he'll eventually be silenced.

And then, right in the middle of the interview, Trump posts that peace may finally be on the table.

So the whole conversation suddenly becomes something bigger: Can Trump still break free? Can he actually walk away?

Or was the moment everyone voted for in 2024 already lost long ago?

Whether you agree with Tucker or not, this isn't some recycled Fox News talking-point session.

This is asking a question that almost nobody in mainstream politics is willing to ask:

If the most powerful man in the world can't do what he wants, then who the hell is actually in charge?

ECB Hikes for First Time Since 2023 as Inflation Heats Up
· The European Central Bank raised interest rates for the first time in almost three years as inflation pressures intensify due to the Iran war.
· The deposit rate was lifted to 2.25% from 2%, with the ECB saying it remains well positioned to navigate the current unpredictability and foreseeing upside risks for inflation.
· The ECB reiterated that the full implications of the war for medium-term inflation and growth will depend on the intensity and duration of the energy price shock and its indirect effects.

“The outlook remains uncertain, with upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth,” it said in a statement. “The full implications of the war for medium-term inflation and growth will depend on the intensity and duration of the energy price shock, as well as the scale of its indirect and second-round effects.”

European bonds held gains after the announcement, with the 10-year yield three basis points lower at 3.05%. The euro was steady against the dollar at $1.1538.

Thursday’s hike is the first policy reaction by a major central bank to the jump in oil prices triggered by the Middle East conflict. With the fighting now in its fourth month, officials in the euro area worry that inflation is broadening beyond energy and won’t simply be tamed by a US-Iran peace deal, even if one materializes soon.

Those fears are reflected in fresh quarterly projections showing consumer prices advancing more quickly this year than previously envisaged, before easing back to the 2% target in 2028.

But underscoring the bind for the ECB, the new outlook also points to dwindling economic growth as inflation and higher borrowing costs sap buying power.

“The war in the Middle East is weighing on activity, and surveys are pointing to a slowdown, especially in services,” President Christine Lagarde told reporters in Frankfurt. “The increase in energy prices will lift inflation further over the summer and keep it well above target into the first half of 2027.”

The ECB came close to acting in April and even some of its most dovish policymakers suggested in the run-up to this week’s meeting that there’s now no real alternative.

They still have vivid memories of 2022, when Russia’s attack on Ukraine ignited a record bout of inflation and the ECB was accused of dragging its feet in responding. During that episode, the deposit rate eventually reached 4% before being cut from mid-2024.

This time around officials have an even closer eye on inflation expectations, which have risen substantially. Some fear worse is to come due to the damage inflicted on energy infrastructure in the Gulf as well as friction within global supply chains.

Other Group of Seven nations are less eager to step in. The Bank of Canada kept borrowing costs unchanged on Wednesday. Next week, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England are also likely to stand pat, while the Bank of Japan is expected to continue a gradual tightening cycle that started last year.

Next meeting on July 23, 2026.

Iran going after Elon

Starlink's ground stations in Israel, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, alongside SpaceX shareholders including the infrastructure of the two companies "Al-Fazabi" and "Exchange," are among the new targets of Iran: IranIntlBreaking

$SPCX IPO this Friday, and order books close today

SpaceX is staging the largest initial public offering (IPO) in market history, issuing shares at $135 to raise up to $75 billion at a valuation of approximately $1.75 to $2 trillion. The offering will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SPCX. Because of Elon Musk’s large cult following, the company is reserving an unusually high 30% of the offering for retail investors (compared to the typical 5% to 10%).

ChatGPT maker OpenAI also confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering recently, the company said, joining rival Anthropic in a push toward the stock market as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom.

At a $1.8 trillion valuation, founder Elon Musk’s 42% stake in the company means this float could position him as the world's first trillionaire.

Rather than just a pure rocket launch company, the public S-1 filing outlines that SpaceX is combining four distinct verticals under its corporate umbrella:

- Launch Services: Rocket and satellite deployment infrastructure.

- Starlink: Global satellite internet and satellite-to-mobile communications.

- Government Contracts: Critical infrastructure and defense payloads.

- AI & Data Centers: Expanded infrastructure for AI and cloud data, utilizing technologies integrated from the merger with xAI.
