Comments: Mashti may be right. UAE already has transferred $2B worth of Gold (2 tons) and the rest in hard cash to Iran. Somehow the rest of what the US owes Iran has to be collected from elsewhere. I suspect SA will also do the same. Iran is asking for a total of $500B upfront. $200B for reparations and $300B is the stolen Iranian assets. Here is $6B of it! It will be interesting to see how US will come up with the rest. As soon as they do, the chance of the strait opening is high. The agreement with Oman is in place and finalzied.
Comments: This account is from a German security analyst. Even EUs admit US has lost the battle now
Comments: Here is an excerpt from an account called prometheus How flawed one's logic has to be to think Iran can't escalate against the U.S. Navy blockade... Up until now the vast majority of missiles used by Iran for anti-shipping were subsonic cruise-missile ➡️ While Yemen's Ansarallah uses Iranian ~Mach-3 Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles Obviously Iran is not interested in mass casualty strikes against the U.S. Navy, to keep a window open for diplomacy. But thinking this restraint is due to inability, given Iran's proven, survivable missile salvo launch capability is just delusional ➡️ The U.S. Navy however is certainly aware that Iran is just doing its staged escalation strategy
Comments: The gold is heading to Iran as a prepayment.
Comments: BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇻🇪 The US is confiscating Venezuela’s gold from the UK bank All of Venezuela's gold reserves, totaling 31 tons, which are held at the Bank of England, will be transferred to the United States, per EL Nacional. The value amounts to $4 billion, resulting in the loss of Venezuelan sovereignty over the resources. @Megatron_ron
Comments: Wall Street's main indexes fell to about two-week lows on Tuesday, pressured by losses in heavyweight technology stocks, while fading hopes for a U.S.-Iran peace deal sustained gains in oil prices and kept government bond yields at multi-year peaks. Iran said it would shift to a "fully offensive" military posture because efforts to negotiate a permanent end to the war with the U.S. have stalled, while Washington ruled out extending a temporary ceasefire agreement that expired on August 17. The developments pushed Brent crude futures up 0.5% at around three-week highs. The S&P 500 Energy sector (.SPNY) gained 1.4%. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond stood at its highest since 2007, while that on the benchmark 10-year maturity held near its highest level since January 2025. "The yields are troubling people because it portends a tighter environment and it's going to be more expensive to borrow money," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. "Especially in this whole AI thing where time to pay it back is uncertain. It makes for a nervous investor environment."

Comments: The First Domino Has FallenThe cascade we predicted in Two Wars is starting.The United Arab Emirates is not broke. It has roughly $95 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, hundreds of billions in foreign exchange reserves, and access to trillions more through its sovereign wealth funds. So why did it just ask Washington for an emergency loan? Because this is not really about whether the UAE has money. It is about what the UAE would have to sell to get that money. And that brings us to the pressure point I wrote about two weeks ago: the U.S. Treasury market.

Comments: The man is completely delusional! President Donald Trump declared Monday that Tehran wants a deal with Washington but is unwilling to accept necessary terms. “They want to make a deal, but they're not going to make the kind of a deal that I feel is necessary,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “Look, we're in there for one reason” he said before clarifying that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon”. “You understand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and they won't have a nuclear weapon. “And right now, them building one after what we did previously with the B-2 bombers, it’s going to be going to be a long time. “It's very simple. They can't have a nuclear war.” he added. The president’s remarks came as a 60-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran ended Monday with both sides standing firm on their positions over Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz.

Comments: IRI has been preparing for domestic and international pressure for years. The pressure is mounting with economic pain and the prospect of full scale war continues to weigh heavily on the people. As much as both sides talk tough, there is a need for some sort of agreement. Unfortunately, the agreements reached in the past have failed over and over again. Going back to what it was before the war seems impossible. Red lines have been crossed and there is no going back. People around the world will pay the price and people in Iran will carry the biggest burden! |
