๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Iranโs currency has fallen past 2 million rials to $1.
Thatโs a new record low on the open market, and it comes BEFORE the U.S. announces it's "economic D-Day" sanctions package...
Iranโs economy was already in rough shape. The IMF expects it to shrink by more than 5% this year, food inflation is above 100%, and unemployment is rising.
The "official" exchange rate doesnโt show the full picture, either. It values the rial around 29% higher than what people are actually getting on the open market.
The rial at 2M:1 USD is bad enough... what will happen once the U.S. unleashes its FULL economic arsenal?

๐ฎ๐ท๐ธ๐ฆ Iran claims it was invited to join the Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani defense pact
-Mehdi Rahimi, who runs Iran's parliamentary news agency, told Al-Mayadeen that Tehran received an invitation
-The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement was signed August 7 by Mohammed bin Salman, Erdogan and Shehbaz Sharif, treating an armed attack on one as an attack on all
-Pakistan's foreign minister has said it is purely defensive and open to others willing to uphold its principles
-No confirmation from any of the three signatories
Consider what the claim being plausible tells you.
A pact anchored by America's oldest Gulf ally, a NATO member, and a nuclear power might have room for the country Washington is sanctioning into the ground.
Riyadh joined US strikes on Iranian proxies three weeks ago. Now nobody's denying the invitation.
If there's anything to it, the Gulf is hedging toward a security order where Iran is inside the tent and America guards the door of an emptier one.
Even as pure Iranian information warfare, the message is aimed at Washington: your allies answer our calls now too.

$8.1B in defense deals this year:
$4.16B to track missiles from orbit,
$2.29B to wire sensors straight to interceptors,
$1.6B just to keep launching the hardware.
Golden Dome basically runs on Falcon 9 now.
$8B is basically a drop in the bucket in the over $1T US defense budget, which is historically around 13% of all spending. However, who says it can't get bigger?

๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Iran calls the new American sanctions a declaration of war on every country, not just Tehran...
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says the measures are an attempt by Washington to exert extraterritorial sovereignty over independent UN member states, with no basis in international law:
"No government has the right to force foreign banks, enterprises, or airports, each operating under the exclusive jurisdiction of their own sovereignty, to refrain from engaging in legitimate trade with a third country."
He invoked Article 2 of the UN Charter and warned of a catastrophic return to full-scale colonialism.
The argument is clearly aimed at Beijing and every other capital weighing whether to comply.
China already said sanctions fit no one's interest.
Tehran is assembling the multipolar case file one exhibit at a time, and the White House just keeps supplying the exhibits for them.

๐จ๐ณ๐น๐ผ China's coast guard stopped 198 commercial ships east of Taiwan and demanded their crew lists and ports of call
The trigger was ordinary.
Japan and the Philippines announced talks in May to settle overlapping sea boundaries between the Ryukyus and the Batanes, which is exactly how these things get resolved worldwide, and no bilateral line binds a third party anyway.
Beijing called the talks null and void, then filled the water. Survey ships, 10,000-ton patrol vessels, coast guard hulls holding station since June where almost none appeared before May.
Interrogating merchant traffic that threatens no seabed resource is not enforcement any coastal state is entitled to, even inside its own zone.
Much of the surveying also ran within 50 miles of Taiwan, nowhere near the boundary in question.
Boundary talks take years... So does the pretext, and a rehearsal for quarantining Taiwan would look almost exactly like this.

-Trump told Fox News on Monday that if Oman gets in the way, "we'll bomb the shit out of them"
-The meeting happened on the sidelines of a State Department event at the Institute of Peace in Washington
-Oman's embassy says the two commended strong cooperation and stressed continued coordination
-Muscat has been negotiating with Iran on shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran finalized a preferential trade deal with Oman today, so Muscat now has agreements moving with both capitals while one of them talks about bombing it.
Being indispensable to everyone is pretty much the entire Omani foreign policy, and so far, itโs holding.

๐บ๐ธ The Treasury just told markets it's going to buy back more long-term government debt, and stocks, bonds and the dollar all moved on it.
Starting September 9, Treasury is at least doubling the size of its liquidity-support buybacks in the longer-dated sectors, from a $2 billion cap per operation to at least $4 billion.
In plain terms, the government is stepping in to buy more of its own longer-term bonds, which supports prices and eases pressure in that part of the market.
Markets liked it right away. The S&P 500 popped, the dollar dropped, and the 10-year yield slid toward 4.64%.
More buybacks mean more demand for Treasuries, and traders read that as a friendlier backdrop for stocks.
A technical debt-management tweak, and it moved three major markets in minutes.

Trump was asked about families worried about sailors after theyโve spent eight-and-a-half months at sea.
His response? Thatโs โnot nearly long enough.โ

Meanwhile, CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper visited the ship over the weekend, with people worried about what such a long stretch at sea is doing to the crew mentally.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท Has Trump begun to realize that HE may be the reason the U.S. is still embroiled in a quagmire with Iran with absolutely no strategy nor off-ramp in sight?
Trump is shifting strategy on Iran after military strikes and threats have repeatedly failed to end the conflict.
He's now betting again on economic pressure through stepped-up sanctions and a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
But this approach requires patience from a president not exactly known for it...
Advisers are right to worry ONE angry post could re-escalate the situation and derail everything.

๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Some of Iranโs top voices are growing more convinced a real deal with Trump is not happening.
In a long debate last week, reports close to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, who was on the earlier negotiating team, laid out why he and others in Tehran see no path to an agreement with this White House.
The admin keeps breaking its own confidence-building steps, the team around Trump looks divided and chaotic, and Trump himself seems too unpredictable to stick to anything long-term.
So instead of chasing talks, the push is to manage a drawn-out stretch of neither full war nor real peace, keep pressure on the markets and the Strait, and wait it out.
Regional neighbors have already been doing their own efforts to stop things from exploding further.
Iran will likely not reopen the Strait until it sees an actual shift in U.S. strategy, not just temporary tactics.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท Trump saw a clear path to claim victory in the Iran war by getting the Strait of Hormuz fully open.
He told aides he could even accept leaving without a nuclear agreement if commercial shipping resumed.
That exit route closed when Iran presented its steepest demands yet.
Tehran is now insisting on billions in compensation, the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces, an end to the naval blockade, and additional concessions before it will allow free traffic.
Analysts say Iran senses Trumpโs urgency ahead of the midterms and is using the waterway as maximum leverage.
Gas prices remain high and previous claims that the strait was already open have repeatedly proven premature.
Washington refuses Iranian restrictions or fees and keeps the threat of force on the table, but the diplomatic room to declare a clean win has shrunk again.
