BREAKING: Trump announces starting next week the US will strike all of Iran’s power plants, bridges, and energy sites. He says the US will also strike Iran “hard tonight, tomorrow night, the night after.”
This comes as Iran has just announced full withdrawal from the MOU one hour ago.
The Hormuz Letter

BREAKING: Iran announces its full withdrawal from the Memorandum of Understanding due to US violations, with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi saying Iran will exercise “full sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, no matter the costs,” including Oman’s half, adding that while Oman is normally one of two countries controlling the Strait, “for national security reasons Iran must control all of the Strait” during wartime now, per Tasnim.
Gharibabadi says that the US not only violated the agreement, but completely dismantled it, especially with the naval blockade on Iranian ports, ships and customers that has just taken effect one hour ago.
Gharibabadi adds Iran “will never request negotiations with the United States.”

Summer doldrums to summer heat wave. It’s gonna get up to 103 here but weather shows high temps all over the country. Anyone with heart or any significant illness or elders should stay out of it including children. Increase of children being taken out to parks in this can wind up in emergency rooms. Family doctors don’t seem to warn you parents about that or heat exhaustion or heat stroke. I can’t believe my daughter in law did that to my grandson once when the temp was running 104-5 took him to the park at about 2 yrs old. I get a call to go to the ER down town my grandson having a stroke and seizuring. Then I get down there and some foreign nurse was jabbing him over and over and can’t believe I have to take over and put a IV in my own grandson to save him pain and suffering. Then asked how much fluids are you giving him. No answer. I asked her again no answer She didn’t know. A American nurse passing by heard it came in and said how bout 50 cc. I’m fine with that and wanted it documented to track before they transfered him to peds. I hope no.parenf or grandparent has to go through that.

Nice to see some kind of gain, any kind of gain!
PS “Biometric eyeballs”
Doesn’t seem real secure … but I guess what is? Cash?
Did you know
That in a survey of shoppers in Vegas that 1 in 10 shoppers are now using biometrics to pay for their goods?
In San Francisco shoppers get their eyes biometrically scanned and receive a digital currency to spend in the store?
The beast system is well underway.
GDX bounces off the lows again. Hard to believe we’re making a bottom though, I would think the bounce would be stronger.

I hope not and just absent enjoying the football games. Hope he’s okay and other than that UK is making more and more restrictions on speech and the Internet. Digital IDs and site restrictions…
- Content Moderation Pressures: Regulators have pressured U.S.-based social media networks to comply with UK rules on their global platforms, which critics argue has led to the preemptive restriction or filtering of ordinary blog posts, X threads, and political discussions to avoid heavy fines. [1, 2, 3]
- Site Restrictions: Under the OSA, Ofcom has the authority to block websites that do not comply or force third-party apps and payment processors to stop facilitating business with non-compliant sites. [1]
That didn’t last long …
Trump abruptly kills his Strait of Hormuz toll after just one day… and reveals what Gulf states must do instead

Hopefully he’s just being ‘goldtent celibate’ until after England’s match tomorrow.

Or maybe still partying after their last win.
We miss you Maddog
deer79 – good call
I see both the metals and shares are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once again.
Yesterday the dollar was up less than it is down today and gold was hit for $100, silver $2. We get half back on a larger move down.
HUI down 17 points from the highs.
Just awesome.
Well it can’t be bad news according to this song…Anybody remember this?
Bad news travels like wildfire but good news travels slow
They call me old wildfire ’cause everybody knows
that I’m BADNEWS…everywhere I go
Always getting in trouble, and leaving pretty girls who hate to see me go
Come on and sing along……with….SNG ;o)…I’m off to the farm to do something useful! Later! ;o)
This’ll goose your stock price

‼️‼️🇮🇷 BIG | Iranian authorities have declared the “Aq-Teke-Khan” bridge in Aqqala back in service.
Tehran is desperate to keep its “land-bridge” to Central Asia open, especially now that its maritime ports are being strangled by a U.S.-led blockade.
Needing some attitude adjustment

Wow gold just jumped! I haven’t seen a reason.
Ah there’s the reason. Thanks Deer.
CPI
rose at an annual rate @3.5% in June ( less than expected). Ergo, the pop in the metals…..now the scum and the algos will cap,cap,cap,drip down, and down the rest of the day.
I’m sorry; just been programmed to think this way after the many years of manipulation…
CPI today
That’ll give em a reason.
JMO
“Trump says US blockade of Iran ports ‘reinstated’: states that US to be reimbursed at rate of 20% of cargo shipped for vessels wishing to transit.”
JMO but “20%!” That won’t fly. That’s extortion! What kind of advisors does Trump have?
