Iran Update, 25 July 2026: A week where every actor pushed harder — and nobody kept control. The Saudi‑led coalition struck Houthi targets across Yemen to weaken their ability to threaten Red Sea shipping and Saudi infrastructure. The Houthis responded immediately with attacks on Saudi vessels and oil ports, tightening the blockade’s economic pressure.

🔥 US night strikes — paused for the first time in 13 days
Iranian officials say the US has not conducted strikes since 24 July. Trump reportedly ordered new strikes hours after an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz — diplomacy and escalation in the same afternoon.

🚀 Iran’s missiles: advanced Kheybar Shekan variants
US officials told the Wall Street Journal that Iran fired advanced MRBM variants that in several cases evaded US defenses. Not a sentence Washington likes to say out loud.

🌍 Strategic picture:

Saudi coalition hitting Houthi targets → trying to regain initiative
Houthis striking ships and oil ports → raising Saudi costs
US pausing strikes → tactical reset or diplomatic window

Iran firing advanced missiles → demonstrating evolving capabilities
Everyone claims control. Nobody actually has it.

People still think I'm crazy...

In 2022, FTX exchange shut down.

In 2026, Bitmex and Bitmart shutting down.

Bottom indicators are appearing 🩸🩸🩸

Most accurate estimate we've seen for the current amount of remaining Russia air defense units - around 230.

Big country, small defenses = good news for the civilized world and bad news for bad people.

When the ammo runs low, you can’t keep firing — and Washington is feeling that reality. Iran saw another night without US airstrikes. After nearly two weeks of nightly bombing runs, the US suddenly hit pause in a war now entering its fifth month.
🔥 Why the pause?
US media report concerns over shrinking stocks of Patriot interceptors and other defensive weapons. Hard to escalate when your magazines look like post‑sale shelves at Walmart.

🔥 Diplomacy + threats = Washington’s default setting
An Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later, Trump reportedly ordered new strikes — then held back. Negotiation and escalation in the same afternoon.
Trump says he’s ready for a “much higher level” of attacks if Iran doesn’t give the US what it wants. The war he once said would last “four or five weeks” is now in month five — and weighing on Republican approval ahead of midterms.

🔥 Pentagon slows down, CENTCOM keeps going
Pentagon proposed a 14th night of strikes — Trump declined. Meanwhile CENTCOM continues the naval blockade:
12 ships redirected
2 disabled

2 boarded
Tankers stopped in Oman Bay and the Arabian Sea

Airstrikes paused. Blockade unchanged.
🌍 Strategic picture:
US pauses airstrikes → ammo pressure + political risk

Iran continues resistance → missiles, regional attacks

Hormuz remains closed → global energy tension

Diplomacy and threats coexist → classic Washington choreography

Everyone claims control. Nobody actually has it.

Building an AI trading bot has literally never been easier.

Anyone with a laptop + WiFi and 10 minutes of free time can completely automate their trading with AI.

The full process (you'll want to save this):

Step 1. Understand the architecture

Whether you're trading stocks or crypto, every trading bot is built from the same two parts:
→ The brain: strategizes your trading. An LLM like Claude or Codex is best for this.
→ The hands: execute your trades. This happens through an MCP connection.

Step 2. Pick your MCP (stocks)

For stocks, one of my favorite MCPs is the Alpaca connector.

It's completely free and has paper trading built in, so you can test everything with fake money before risking real capital.

Step 3. Connect Alpaca (3 sub-steps)

→ Sign up for an Alpaca account
→ Grab your API key
→ Plug the API key into Claude

That's it. Your brain and your hands are now connected.

Step 4. Pick your MCP (crypto)

Same exact process, different exchange.

Go to your exchange (Blofin, Binance, Bybit, etc), grab your API key from your account settings.

Step 5. Connect your exchange

Plug the API key into Claude with a prompt like:

"I want to automate my trading with the Blofin MCP, connect my API key [insert key], and build a dashboard to manage my trading."

Once connected, your AI can read your positions, place trades, and manage everything from one interface.

Step 6. Dashboard build

From here, you can build a fully customizable dashboard trading terminal to manage your trading.

Pro tip: connect other MCPs to get live price data.

Such a simple setup and easy way to start automating your trading.

‼️The US Dollar share in global FX reserves is falling:

The US Dollar weighting in global reserves has declined -15 percentage points since 2015, to ~42%, near the lowest this century.

The greenback proportion has been below 50% for the last 3 years now.

At the same time, gold's share surged to ~26%, near the highest since the 1990s.

By comparison, the euro accounts for ~15% of global reserves.

The Eastern world is quietly diversifying from the US Dollar.

Netanyahu:

Tomorrow I will travel to Washington to meet, at his invitation, with President Trump.

After that, I will participate in a ceremony honoring a great friend of Israel, Senator Lindsey Graham. I must say that he has been one of Israel's greatest friends since the establishment of the state, and it is only fitting that we pay him this honor.

I will meet with President Trump to discuss all the issues currently on the agenda, including the situation in Iran.

Putin can’t do peace deal in Ukraine. It would lead to him losing job, having money taken away, going to jail, and losing life. No matter how much it may be in Russia’s national interest to compromise, cut a deal, end the war, Putin understands his survival is at stake.

🇷🇺⚠️ Russia’s State Duma is urging major marketplace operators to take responsibility for protecting their own logistics infrastructure from future attacks.

Lieutenant General (Ret.) Andrey Gurulyov, a member of the State Duma, said marketplace owners must urgently strengthen the passive protection of warehouses and distribution centers.

🛡️ According to Gurulyov, the attacks are intended to destabilize Russia’s internal social and political situation, disrupt logistics, and fuel public discontent by creating conditions for organized protests.

"The compass was invented before the clock because directions matters more than time"

“The greatest enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan”

Sometimes disappearing is part of the comeback. Keep growing.

Putin has again decided that residents of St Petersburg have exhibited insufficient fealty and groveling and therefore must be punished - once again cutting off their internet until they remember how to be good little slaves.

🚨 THE AI CREDIT BOOM IS STARTING TO CRACK:

The bond market is sending a warning that equity investors are ignoring.

CDS spreads for major AI infrastructure players have surged to record highs, led by Oracle and CoreWeave, as credit investors demand higher compensation to fund the massive AI buildout.

Credit stress is spreading across the sector, with spreads also widening for Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet as investors reassess the risks of the debt-heavy AI investment cycle.

This comes as AI infrastructure requires unprecedented amounts of capital as companies are spending billions on data centers, chips, and power capacity, even before those investments generate meaningful returns.

To finance this expansion, hyperscalers are increasingly turning to debt markets.

Alphabet, $GOOGL, has raised more than $85 billion in debt over the past year, pushing its total debt balance above $100 billion, while hundreds of billions in AI-related corporate debt compete with governments for long-term investor capital.

If AI profits fail to catch up with spending, higher borrowing costs could pressure margins, force spending cuts, and eventually hit stock market prices.

The AI trade is now being challenged by the rising cost of financing the race.

🚨 BREAKING: Andrew Tate announces to the world that he pooped his pants in jail and it made him cry

He is blaming it on a "broken water faucet" and "dirty water."

He's probably going to be relieved when he gets to a British prison 😂
