According to a report from CBS, citing a number of U.S. officials, U.S. military decision-makers are continuing to plan for the possibility of military escalation with Cuba should diplomatic efforts fail to merit the desired results. Per the reports, last month, a concept of operations (CONOP) briefing was held where the possibility of using the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division in an air assault was discussed. However, given escalation in the Middle East with Iran, and the reposed key offensive assets to that theater of competition. U.S. officials told CBS that such an operation is not likely at this time.

According to Axios, citing both U.S. and Israeli official, the U.S. has asked Israel to receive ‘dozens’ of additional refueling aircraft to Ben Gurion Airport in preparation for a potential significantly expanded strike campaign on Iran. However, as reported before, some Israeli decision-makers have advised against such a move, as the airport has suffered from the congestion added by the 30 some-odd refueling aircraft already at the airport. In addition to this, it is understood that Iran may directly strike Israel, should an expanded campaign utilize even more U.S. resources based in Israel, a move that would almost certainly prompt Israel to retaliate with widespread direct strikes on Iran.

🚨 BREAKING: In a massive development, US oil giant Chevron is signing a deal with Iraq to *CIRCUMVENT* the Strait of Hormuz as they move into Iraqi oil fields

This is HUGE, Iran is fuming! 🔥

"Chevron will sign a Memorandum of Understanding today with Iraq to enter into 2 Iraqi oil fields, and doing study to move oil from Iraq north AROUND the Strait, possibly through the Mediterranean Sea. This is all meant to add that global oil supply AVOIDING the issues."

Trump just recently met with the Iraqi PM.

🚨 $1.8 Trillion has been wipedout from Global stock markets today.

The S&P 500 opened -1%.
The Nasdaq opened -2%.

The semiconductor index has crashed 3%, pushing it into bear market territory, already down over 24% from its June peak.

Global chip stocks had already lost more than $2 trillion in value since June 22.

This follows a massive crash in Asian markets.

Japan's Nikkei closed down 4%.
Taiwan's Taiex crashed 6.5%, with TSMC down 7.3% and Kioxia collapsing 16%.

But why is every market crashing?

Moonshot AI released Kimi K3 on Thursday, a 2.8 trillion parameter model, the largest open-source AI model ever built, beating DeepSeek's previous record of 1.6 trillion.

On independent benchmarks, it landed close behind Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6, the two most capable models available right now, while pricing itself at a fraction of what either company charges.

The entire AI trade is priced on the belief that staying competitive requires massive, growing spending on chips and data centers.

When a lab in China builds something that performs almost as well for a fraction of the cost, that belief gets challenged, and every dollar already spent chasing it gets repriced by the market immediately.

This isn't new.

DeepSeek did the same thing in January 2025 and wiped out $589 billion from Nvidia alone in a single session, the largest one day market cap loss for any company in history at the time.

This has become a pattern now.

Every time China releases a new model or a new chip, every stock market heavily tied to AI or memory gets repriced, no matter which country it trades in.

The IRGC is now claiming that they shot down a U.S. RQ-11 small-UAS system in the Ramshir area of Khuzestan Province, Iran. However, given Iraq’s known use of the system for short-range reconnaissance missions and the distance from the closest alleged U.S. military presence on Bubiyan Island, Kuwait, at the time of writing, it’s yet unclear whether or not it was a U.S. system that was shot down. It’s important to remember that barring a not yet publicly declared deployment of U.S. forces to Southern Iraq, U.S. forces remain sequestered far to the north in Iraqi Kurdistan.

The Department of Defense has updated its official casualty figures for Operation EPIC FURY, reporting 13 additional wounded in action (WIA), including 10 U.S. Army and 3 U.S. Navy personnel.

The increase follows a week of increased medical evacuation activity from the region, with four U.S. Air Force C-17A medevac missions staging through Djibouti, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia transporting casualties to Ramstein Air Base, Germany. From there, patients requiring continued treatment were flown to Joint Base Andrews for transfer to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center (UKMTO) has issued a warning after receiving a report of an attack on a commercial tanker approximately 19NM east of Khasab, Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the report, the vessel was struck on its port (left) side by an unknown projectile, causing minor structural damage.

The vessel's direction of travel was not disclosed. However, if it was outbound through the Strait of Hormuz, the port side would have been facing Iran.

After reportedly being targeted earlier this week during U.S. airstrikes on Iran's Chabahar maritime control tower, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has released an image showing the structure collapsing during today's latest wave of strikes.

Based on the duration and scope of today's operations, this appears to have been the most extensive and intense day of the renewed U.S. air campaign against Iran.
