France Has Moved All Its Gold Out of the United States
The Banque de France has completed a full withdrawal of its gold reserves from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Between July 2025 and January 2026, 129 tonnes of French gold stored in New York were sold and replaced with equivalent bullion purchased in Europe. All of Franceโs 2,437 tonnes of gold now sit in Paris. Every last bar.
The timing is hard to ignore. With Trump tearing up the postwar rulebook and transatlantic trust at historic lows, France has quietly made sure its financial bedrock is no longer stored on American soil.
The operation generated a 13 billion euro windfall on the back of record-high gold prices, turning a 7.7 billion euro loss in 2024 into an 8.1 billion euro profit in 2025. Macron essentially got paid to exit.

๐ต๐ธ๐ฎ๐ทThe proliferation of AI-enabled military technology in the Middle East | ISS org
The genocide in #Gaza, #Palestine was described in the Israeli press as โthe worldโs first AI warโ, integrating a number of new artificial intelligence (#AI) systems into military technologies, from new target-identification processes to enhanced weaponry. Since then, the integration of AI into military #technologies has progressed in leaps and bounds, with countries across the region seeking to make AI a part of their military architecture.
Much of this has involved partnerships with commercial entities, from Israeli start-ups to big-tech corporations including #Amazon, #Google and #Microsoft. As these entities have shown a tendency to circumvent their self-professed human-rights commitments and due-diligence obligations, greater regulation will be required to protect civilian lives and infrastructure during armed conflict

However, there are massive indications that they actually tried to seize the enriched uranium extracted from Iran.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท "The American special forces fell into a trap set by Iran's armed forces."
New details emerging on the failed #Isfahan operation. Iranian sources now confirm this was not a pilot rescue mission. It was a raid on a nuclear facility.
Zero hour was set at the White House under Trump's direct supervision. The landing site โ an abandoned airstrip โ was chosen specifically for its proximity to an Isfahan nuclear site. Generals who warned against the operation were fired days before it launched.
Iran let the first C-130 land and the commandos disembark โ then sprang the trap when the second aircraft approached. Little Bird helicopters never got airborne. US jets bombed their own equipment to prevent capture.
Iranian sources call it worse than Tabas 1980 and the fallout will affect Trump's political for years.
