JUST IN: IRAN'S SECURITY COUNCIL SECRETARY REZAEI US WARNING:
“If war begins again, U.S. ships unless they leave the Indian Ocean will be attacked wherever they are inside the Indian Ocean. We have developed these capabilities.
We increased the speed of our hypersonic missiles from Mach 6 to Mach 10.
We have also developed our electronic warfare systems, improved our air defenses, and we have other measures that we will use at the appropriate time.
Therefore, we are fully prepared. If America starts the war, we will confront America with greater force and with more numerous and more painful strikes.”
🚨 THE AI BUBBLE IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A GAME OF MUSICAL CHAIRS:
The AI ecosystem is becoming increasingly interconnected, with a huge share of revenue at major companies now dependent on spending from a small group of AI players.
Applied Digital, $APLD, has the highest AI-related revenue exposure at ~86%, followed by CoreWeave, $CRWV, at ~80%, SK Hynix at ~58%, Nvidia, $NVDA, at ~51%, and TSMC, $TSM, at ~46%.
The concentration is striking, with Applied Digital depending heavily on Oracle and CoreWeave, while CoreWeave relies primarily on Microsoft, with additional exposure to Google and Meta.
AI companies are spending heavily on chips and infrastructure, those suppliers generate revenue from that spending, and the resulting revenue supports further investment across the same ecosystem.
With AI investment increasingly financed through debt, the ecosystem is becoming a circular financing system, with capital flowing between companies and helping fund further investment across the same AI ecosystem.
Put simply, the AI bubble increasingly looks like a game of musical chairs.
As long as spending remains high, most players benefit, but if one major player cuts spending, the revenue shock could quickly spread across the entire chain.

BREAKING: Iran's IRGC says the US has decided to resume military action against Iran at a joint meeting in a European country, with a "green light" given from regional countries, and warns that if the US moves, "all of its bases and interests in the region will become targets of continuous attacks, without any limitations or considerations."
The statement follows Trump cutting short his weekend at Camp David to review Yemen strike options last night, US preparations for a large-scale operation against the Houthis, and Iran placing all its armed forces on Code 100, its highest alert level.
(FT) - About $18bn of loans tied to a data centre leased to Oracle in New Mexico slid into stressed territory on Friday, highlighting investors’ fear that increasing local backlash will derail the tech group’s massive AI infrastructure build-out.
