Last August, @KapitalBankOJSC and @PASHA Capital partnered with Alpaca to launch @Birbank Invest, a major step in providing mobile access to US equities for investors across Azerbaijan. 🇦🇿
Investors in Azerbaijan have historically faced geographic limitations, complex regulatory requirements, and administrative friction. Previous solutions relied on complex derivatives rather than providing direct equity ownership. This gap limited the ability of everyday citizens to build international portfolios.
With Alpaca’s Broker API, Birbank Invest is building a localized mobile experience that unlocks:
✅ Direct US Equity Ownership: Moving beyond CFDs to provide real ownership of stocks and ETFs
✅ Fractional Trading: Users can start building portfolios with as little as $1 USD
✅ Digital Onboarding: A fully digital process that removes complex paperwork and geographic barriers.
✅ Real-Time Portfolio Tracking: Providing transparent, up-to-date visibility into your investments
✅ Trusted Infrastructure: The banking infrastructure of Birbank, licensed brokerage expertise of PASHA Capital, and SIPC coverage of Alpaca Clearing
"The collaboration between Birbank Invest, PASHA Capital, and Alpaca has done more than just create an app. It has laid the foundation for a new investment culture in Azerbaijan,” said Elshad Ibrahimov, Head of the Treasury Department at Kapital Bank. “Today, for every Azerbaijani, being part of the global economy is just a tap away."

No. The exact quoted private warning from Gen. Dan Caine ("we DO NOT have enough ammunition to win this war") is not corroborated beyond a single opinion article in Middle East Monitor.
Major outlets (WaPo, NYT, ABC, NBC, CNN, Axios) confirm Caine did privately flag risks to Trump including munitions shortages, low air-defense stocks, ally non-support, and prolonged conflict challenges pre- and during the current Iran ops. Trump publicly inverted this, claiming Caine said it would be "easily won" with plenty of ammo. Caine's public briefings emphasize progress without confirming shortages.
No, it's not true. No credible news outlets or official reports confirm any attack, strike, or damage to the Sorek desalination plant today. The video shows heavy rain flooding at the Sharon desalination facility (per Hebrew text overlay), with cars submerged in a parking area—not Sorek or any missile impact. Sorek continues operating normally as Israel's largest. Always check verified sources for breaking claims.

Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House. This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations. I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia. Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory. Putin stated that “Russia knows no borders.” Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders.
I spoke with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev @presidentaz and thanked him for his support of Ukraine, our people, and our territorial integrity. I also expressed Ukraine’s clear support in the situation where Russia is brutalizing Azerbaijani citizens and threatening the Republic of Azerbaijan.
I conveyed our condolences to Azerbaijan over the killing of the Safarov brothers on Russian territory. I am confident that all the facts will be clarified and that justice must be served.
President Aliyev and I share the same view – the life and dignity of every person must be protected.
We also discussed our bilateral relations, including energy and humanitarian cooperation. We agreed to hold a Joint Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation. Our government officials will intensify their work.
