I saw this in the middle of the night and it instantly woke me up 😳 The Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced that at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, they seized an unmanned U.S. naval submarine! The video has been released too, and they’re touting it as the “most advanced U.S. intelligent unmanned submarine.”
The U.S. Navy quickly tries to put out the fire: it’s a malfunctioning old model with no secrets or data—worth nothing. But who would believe that? Just three days ago, Iran fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. destroyer. The U.S. retaliated right away, blowing up three Iranian oil tankers, and even the area near Halk Island’s oil port wasn’t spared 🔥
The Strait of Hormuz is a choke point for nearly 20% of the world’s crude oil. Brent crude even touched above $99 at one point, and Saudi Arabia reportedly warned of a supply disruption. Once oil prices spike, inflation expectations rise too. On Friday, the CPI and the Sept. 16 U.S. Federal Reserve—both are being put to the test 😱
Now the market is pricing in a 25-basis-point rate hike next week, with the probability already at 63%. And BTC is stuck around the $80,000 level—if things really heat up, will safe-haven money rush in, or will it still get pinned to the ground by “rate-hike panic”? 🤔
📌 Escalation of clashes between Iran and the U.S. at sea—oil prices and rate-hike expectations are both in doubt, and the whole weight is on the crypto market
