🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — United States President Donald J. Trump announces an Economic D-Day against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as American pressure on Iranian financial capabilities reaches another level:
No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it.
Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.
Their navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread.
Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences.
Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.
These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide.
IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

#BREAKING | 🇺🇸 — Up to 319 million SpaceX (SPCX) shares — worth roughly $42–45 billion depending on the prevailing price — become eligible for sale today as the next scheduled tranche of post-IPO lock-up restrictions lifts.
This is the second major release after the larger ~911.5 million-share unlock on August 6. SpaceX used a staggered schedule rather than a single 180-day cliff. Additional tranches follow in September and October, with a bigger earnings-linked release later in the year. Elon Musk’s shares remain locked until June 2027.
Unlocks make shares eligible to trade; they do not automatically mean they will be sold. The stock has already absorbed the first large wave without collapsing.

🇨🇦🤝🇮🇷 — Conservative Party of Canada Leader, Pierre Poilievre declares his support for the Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi:
It was a pleasure to speak with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi about the mission for a free and democratic Iran, returned to the Iranian people and free from the terror of the regime in Tehran.
I shared with him the tremendous support I saw from Canada’s Persian community in Vancouver and their hope for freedom and democratic change in Iran.
We discussed the importance of sustained international pressure on the Islamic Republic, maintaining internet access for Iranians, using frozen Iranian regime assets rather than Western taxpayer dollars to support the Iranian people, and ensuring that Iranians themselves determine the future of their country through free elections and a democratic constitutional process.
Conservatives support comprehensive sanctions and the seizure of regime assets, expelling the IRGC from Canada, protecting Persian and Jewish communities here at home from threats and intimidation, and maintaining the Conservative policy of no formal diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic.
I was also pleased to invite the Crown Prince to visit Canada and look forward to continuing our discussions about how Canada can support the Iranian people in reclaiming their country and securing a free and democratic future.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 4. RUSSIA + UKRAINE: WAR + ENERGY + ECONOMIC SURVIVAL
The Russia-Ukraine war remains fundamentally a war of economic endurance as well as military power.
🇷🇺 For Russia: energy revenues remain important to the state budget, while sanctions, military spending and restricted access to technology create long-term economic pressure.
🇺🇦 For Ukraine: the challenge is even more fundamental — maintaining state finances, infrastructure and military capacity during a prolonged war requires enormous external financial and military support.
And Europe is now facing another energy shock.
The current U.S.-Iran conflict and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed Brent crude close to $90 per barrel, with shipping through the strait severely disrupted.
That matters far beyond the Middle East.
Higher oil and refined-fuel prices → higher transport and production costs → renewed inflation → pressure on consumers → pressure on central banks.
Energy is once again becoming a geopolitical weapon.
