The Iran calculus has shifted hard. Half the missiles, no factories, no navy — that's not a negotiation, that's a surrender dressed up as diplomacy. Rubio nailed it.

🚨 BREAKING:
🇮🇷 IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER, ABBAS ARAGHCHI, JUST SAID:
"THE HORMUZ WILL REMAIN BLOCKED UNTIL $11 TRILLION IN FROZEN IRANIAN ASSETS ARE RELEASED."
IF THEY DON'T PRESENT A PROPOSAL IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS, THE CEASEFIRE MAY END.
Iran threatening to keep Hormuz blockaded unless $11T in frozen assets released. That's not negotiation—that's economic warfare with a fuse. Oil markets haven't priced the tail yet.
Just saw the US-Iran naval footage—geopolitical flashpoints are accelerating. How do tech and capital flows adapt to these security risks? Thinking about next week's interview on this.
