Hello #Dogecoin Community,
My name is David Mitchell Jr. This is going to be a long post but, I believe it's crucial for the health of the community. I don't have the largest platform on YT so I'm writing articles now to inform everyone this is about more than holding. 🧵

DAY 92: IRAN WAR.

HERE ARE 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

1. IRAN PEACE TALKS BREAK DOWN TODAY.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency said Iran suspended ceasefire talks and the exchange of messages through mediators.

Tehran accused Israel of escalating its military offensive in Lebanon.

One Iranian official told the Washington Post that the talks were suspended due to Israel’s actions in Lebanon and recent US strikes.

Discussions that seemed on the verge of a breakthrough are on hold.

2. IRAN IS CLOSING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

Iran said it was re-imposing restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz as talks were suspended, Tasnim reported.

The waterway that was supposed to be reopened under the proposed memorandum of understanding is now blocked again.

One of the key pillars of the draft deal has effectively crumbled.

3. TRUMP SAYS TALKS MOVING FORWARD. IRAN STATES THEY ARE NOT.

President Trump said in a post on Truth Social that indirect talks with Iran were proceeding at a “rapid pace.”

Hours later, media tied to the Revolutionary Guard in Iran said the talks had been suspended and that Iran was preparing to open “other fronts” in the conflict.

Two completely different stories.

Washington says the diplomacy is ongoing.

Tehran says diplomacy is not dead.

4. U.S. AND IRAN TRADED STRIKES TODAY.

US forces launched new airstrikes in southern Iran, hitting a military site that they said posed a threat to American forces and commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC responded by targeting the airbase it said had been used to launch the attack. “The response will be completely different if the aggression is repeated,” the IRGC warned.

Military activity is on the rise, but negotiations may be at a standstill.

ISRAEL CAPTURED BEAUFORT CASTLE IN SOUTHERN LEBANON.

Israeli forces seized the historic Beaufort Castle overlooking southern Lebanon.

Now Israeli and IDF brigade flags fly over the site.

The move signals a deeper Israeli advance into Lebanese territory and further proof that the Lebanon ceasefire is effectively no longer holding.

DAY 92 – THE BIGGER PICTURE.

— Iran broke off peace negotiations.
— Iran re-closes Strait of Hormuz.
— The US hit targets again inside Iran.
— The IRGC hit back. — Trump says negotiations are moving ahead.
— Iran says talks are on hold.
— Israel has taken Beaufort Castle and is moving forward in Lebanon.

Day 92.

The talks are deadlocked.

Hormuz is closed again.

Both sides throwing punches.

What seemed like a done deal days ago is now on hold.

IRAN WAR - DAY 87.

Here are 10 things happening right now that you need to know about.

1. TRUMP: “WE’LL BE SATISFIED. OR WE FINISH THE JOB.”

Trump said at a cabinet meeting today that Iran “very much wants to make a deal,” but no deal has been made.

“we are not happy with it yet, but we will be. “So we’ll have to do it.”

2. IRAN STATE TV PUBLISHED DRAFT MOU - TERMS

The proposed framework was published today by Iranian state television.

The draft agreement states:
— Iran to restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within 30 days. — US to withdraw its military forces from the vicinity of Iran and lift its naval blockade.
— Military vessels still banned. — Iran controls traffic through Hormuz with Oman.

The deal could be enshrined in a binding UN Security Council resolution if a final agreement is reached within 60 days.

3. TALKS “PROCEEDING NICELY,” SAYS WHITE HOUSE

In response to reports regarding the draft MOU, the White House said negotiations are “proceeding nicely.”

And they said any deal that Trump would accept would have to guarantee that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon.

4. US FORCES SHOOT DOWN 4 IRANIAN DRONES TODAY

U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones today, a U.S. official said.

Fighting and negotiations still go on, at the same time.

Still

5. TRUMP: “NOBODY CONTROLS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

Trump posted today:

‘No one will control the Strait of Hormuz. “It will be for all of us.”

But Iran’s draft agreement shows Tehran would control Hormuz traffic in coordination with Oman.

These positions are contradictory in themselves.

6. TODAY ISRAELI STRIKES KILLED 31 PEOPLE IN LEBANON.

Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon killed 31 people Wednesday.

The Israeli military has now killed more than 3,200 people in Lebanon.

7. THE US LAUNCHED NEW AIR STRIKES IN SOUTHERN IRAN.

According to ABC News, US forces today conducted additional strikes on Iranian missile sites in southern Iran.

8. IRAN’S INTERNET COMEBACK IS NOW UNDER LEGAL SCRUTINY

An Iranian administrative court has put on hold the order to restore internet access.

That leaves new questions about whether the reopening is really here to stay.

Internet traffic is currently about 40% of pre-war levels.

9. HAJ OVER IN THREE DAYS — BUT FRIDAY MAY BE REAL DEADLINE.

Haj is projected to be completed by about May 30 — just three days away.

Gulf allies are said to have cautioned against a major military escalation during the pilgrimage season.

That gives negotiators about 72 hours to come up with a framework before pressure starts building up again.

10. DAY 87 - THE BIG PICTURE

— Trump: America will either get a deal or “finish the job.”
— Iran’s draft MOU calls for opening Hormuz within 30 days, nuclear negotiations within 60.
- White House - Talks are progressing.
— Four Iranian drones were downed today.
— US launches fresh strikes inside Iran.
-- Israel expanded its attacks in Lebanon.
— Iran's internet restoration now faces legal challenges.
-- Haj ends Friday.

Day 87.

Negotiations are under way.
The war does, too.

The actual deadline could now be only 72 hours off.

[David Mitchell Jr @jrdavidmitchell]

IRAN WAR – DAY 86.

HERE ARE 10 THINGS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.

IRAN’S INTERNET IS BACK. 86 DAYS LATER.

Partial internet access has been restored across Iran after 86 days of near-total blackout, NetBlocks confirmed today.

It was the longest internet shutdown in the country’s history.

Millions of Iranians are back on the Internet for the first time since February 28.

2. DOHA TALKS GO ON - DESPITE U.S. ATTACKS YESTERDAY.

A high-ranking Iranian delegation met Qatari mediators in Doha today.

Trump administration negotiators were participating remotely.

Both sides reportedly are working toward an MOU that would end the conflict, gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz and push nuclear negotiations into a separate 60-day process.

But the White House still wants broader Iranian commitments before signing anything.

3. HOPES FOR A QUICK DEAL FADED TODAY.

NPR’s headline this morning:

“Attacks resume, dimming Iran war prospects.”

Simultaneously:
Israel said it was stepping up operations against Hezbollah.
— The US hit Iranian boats and missile sites Monday.
— Diplomats continue to talk actively.

All three are occurring simultaneously.

4. IRAN CALLED US STRIKES AN “OPEN BREACH OF THE CEASEFIRE.”

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Washington has broken the April 8 ceasefire in the last 48 hours.

CENTCOM justified the strikes as “self-defense,” pointing to “increasing and potentially threatening Iranian activity.”

5. OIL REMAINED UNDER $100.

Brent crude was trading near $98 today, down about 6% from yesterday’s high amid hopes of a new deal.

But prices are 40% higher than pre-war levels.

The biggest movement in weeks is three LNG tankers just through Hormuz.

6. ISRAEL STEPS UP ITS STRIKES ON LEBANON.

Lebanese civil defense crews sifted through debris near Tyre after Israeli strikes at dawn.

Lebanon’s death toll is approaching 3,200.

7. IRAN’S URANIUM RED LINE IS THE SAME.

Tehran again insisted that the transfer of enriched uranium out of the country is non-negotiable.

The US is still asking for broader nuclear promises before any deal is struck.

8. TRUMP: “TIME IS OUR FRIEND.”

“Time is on America’s side,” Trump wrote Monday.

No new deadline has been announced since Haj began on 23 May.

Haj is expected to wrap up around May 30 -- about four days away.

9. PAKISTAN'S PRIME MINISTER IN BEIJING.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is meeting with Chinese leadership this week, in part to update Xi Jinping on the Iran mediation effort.

One of the biggest wildcards in the conflict is China's role in pressuring Iran toward a deal.

10. DAY 86 — THE BIG PICTURE

Iran's internet blackout is being lifted.

Talks continue in Doha but prospects for a deal weakened today.

The US struck Iranian targets on Monday. Iran said it was a ceasefire violation.

Oil remains high. Israel is escalating its operations in Lebanon. Iran’s nuclear ‘red lines’ remain unchanged.

Haj ends in four days.

Trump says America has the time.

86th day.

Negotiations and escalation – still taking place at the same time.

🚨 IRAN WAR – 85TH DAY 10 important things going on right now:
1. Today the United States launched strikes against Iran even as peace talks continue. U.S. military strikes Iranian missile sites, boats near Strait of Hormuz Monday. CENTCOM said the action was taken in “self-defense” after Iran allegedly attacked U.S. vessels transiting the area. What’s remarkable is that both countries are actively seeking to negotiate an end to the war even as military action continues.

2. Iran’s negotiating team is now in Qatar working on a proposed agreement. Iranian officials are in Doha for direct talks -- the first face-to-face discussions in Qatar since the war began. A 14-point memo is being finalised, reports suggest. Iran's foreign ministry says the priority is to halt the war first and the nuclear talks are expected to be held in a 60-day period after that.

3. Trump says the result will be "either a big deal or no deal". Trump said Monday any deal with Iran would have to be “great and meaningful” or it wouldn’t happen. He also said he hopes Middle Eastern countries will join the Abraham Accords after a deal is made.

4. Iran says it won't make early nuclear concessions. Iran has made clear it will not change its nuclear program instantly in any deal with the U.S. Iranian officials said the restrictions around the Strait of Hormuz would be phased out gradually by both sides and nuclear issues would be dealt with later in the proposed 60-day process. “The U.S. has taken a nuclear-first approach. But Iran seems to be trying to drag that debate to later stages.”

5. Trump also threatened tougher military action if negotiations don’t work. Trump said talks were moving forward but warned military action could be “bigger and stronger than ever before” if an agreement isn’t reached. One day there were negotiations and military strikes and warnings of escalation.

6. Israel’s opposition is lambasting the proposed deal. Reports said that the opposition leader and former prime minister of Israel, Lapid, called the emerging deal “a disaster.” With elections on the horizon, Israel’s political reaction is becoming increasingly fractured.

7. On Memorial Day, Trump visited Arlington. Trump attended a Memorial Day service at Arlington National Cemetery and paid tribute to those who died in service, including the 13 Americans killed during the war.

8. Iran said on Monday that the United States’ shifting positions were hampering progress. Iranian officials say one of the biggest obstacles in negotiations has been what they say is a constantly changing U.S. position.

9. Oil prices plunged. According to reports, Brent crude fell more than 6% to below $100 for the first time since the start of the conflict. WTI also fell sharply. More tanker movement through the Strait of Hormuz may be helping to relieve worries over supply disruptions.

10. Day 85 recap: Military action continues while the U.S. and Iran are still negotiating. Iran and Qatar are talking about a deal, and nuclear talks may be next, political opposition is rising, and markets are reacting. Day 85 and we are still in diplomacy and conflict mode.

💰 $10,000 Gold Vs Silver. Market Peaks Out. Gold and silver are undervalued and haven’t ran like this in a while.
But when they run, they run HARD.

Some years reward patience.
Some years reward timing.
And some years remind you why hard assets never go to zero.

This is why smart money watches cycles, not headlines. 🪙🔥

Would you rather hold gold… or silver? 👇

🪙 Silver doesn’t rush — and neither should you.

It’s been money for thousands of years, through every cycle, every system, every reset.
While trends come and go, silver just waits.

Sometimes the quiet assets are the strongest ones.

There's a few different things that will help #doge not only price wise but long term. Starting with the launch of Dogecoin ETFs in late 2025. As more institutions start using them, the flow of money into them could speed up in 2026. Then we have Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) and big holders are actively buying up DOGE's circulating supply, with promises to buy up to 5% of it. DogeOS and other projects with -proof infrastructure want to make Dogecoin's network more useful for DeFi, payments, and gaming. This could draw in more developers and users. Then of course we have the general crypto bull run linked to the cycles of Bitcoin and other altcoins.

Happy New Year 2026! 🎉🚀 Happy New Year to all! 🥂 Welcome to 2026! This is a new year full of possibilities, new beginnings, and exciting chances. There were good times and bad times in 2025, but we are now stronger and smarter. Let's celebrate all the good things that have happened, big and small: the things we've learned, the strength we've built, and the way our community has grown closer. It's not just about price charts when it comes to growth; it's also about you growing as a person. To that, cheers! The markets are starting off the year on a steady note. Stocks ended 2025 on a high note, and Wall Street analysts are hopeful for more gains in 2026. The average target for the S&P 500 is around 7,500, which means there is room for growth from current levels. This is thanks to advances in AI, possible rate cuts, and strong corporate earnings. Crypto is also staying strong after some ups and downs in late 2025. The total market cap is about $3 trillion, and Bitcoin is worth about $88,000 and Ethereum is worth about $3,000. Institutional inflows through ETFs keep coming in, rules are becoming clearer, and experts from companies like Grayscale and Coinbase see big changes coming, like more integration with traditional finance, more tokenization, and more stablecoins. And a shoutout to Dogecoin 🐕—the people's coin starts at about $0.128 and is as strong as ever thanks to its unbreakable community vibe and meme magic. A lot of wow is coming up in a year of adoption and alt rotations! When we're talking about resets, the deflationary standards Doge has will shine. That 5 billion a year will seem like nothing. The game is to see how the markets change: up, down, and sideways. But what about the big picture? Shiny. Rules are getting clearer, institutions are putting in a lot of money, technology is getting better, and the usefulness of the system is growing every day. But more than any pump, we're all getting bigger. You've gotten smarter, more patient, and tougher through cycles. That's the real victory to celebrate! Cheers to 2026! More knowledge, more wins (on and off the charts), and personal growth that can't be stopped. Let's make this the best year ever! What are you most looking forward to this year? The highs of BTC, the moonshots of DOGE, or something else? Let it go! #HappyNewYear #Crypto2026 #Dogecoin #Bitcoin #GrowthMindset

Why has Venezuela always been in the U.S. crosshairs?
World’s largest oil reserves. Strategic Caribbean access. Gold, gas, and critical minerals.
One scene from Jack Ryan explains it better than any news report.
