On March 27, the Iranian military warned that hotels in the region housing U.S. troops would be targeted. “When all U.S. troops are in a hotel, from our perspective, that hotel becomes a U.S. base,” said Shahkarami, spokesman for Iran’s Armed Forces. “Should we stand idly by and let Americans attack us?

The case was initially under a court gag order, but parts of the order were lifted Thursday evening following requests from several Hebrew media outlets. Key case details are now public, though the defendant’s name remains confidential. After correctly predicting the airstrike’s timi

The dynamic has shifted from “loose policy expectations fueling risk appetite” to a triple headwind framework: *higher-for-longer rates + energy shock + liquidity tightening*. While Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s latest remarks officially retained the median forecast of one rate cut this year, the key takeaway is clearer: Policy won’t pivot to easing until inflation sees a sustained, credible decline. Markets have wrapped up the first round of rapid repricing: Short-term rates are staying elevated and even showing upward stickiness, meaning the prior trading playbook centered on “preemptive rate cuts” has largely fizzled out. For crypto, this has directly weakened valuation anchors—pushing up compression pressure on high-beta assets, AI-themed coins, and cash-flow-less tokens. The Middle East conflict has roiled energy ma
