🇮🇱🇱🇧Has Netanyahu just blown up the U.S-Iran peace deal… again?!?
Both Israeli Defense Minister Katz and Netanyahu confirmed the strike, saying Israel “will not tolerate fire directed at its territory.”
It came after Hezbollah had launched drones into northern Israel, but none of them caused significant damage or casualties.
However, Netanyahu has been under increasing pressure to strike Beirut after he was criticized for the terms of the deal between Iran and the U.S.
He knows it’s a red line for Iran and will likely kill any hope of the deal being signed today, which conveniently saves Netanyahu from further losses in the polls and keeps the war in Lebanon going.
What a birthday present for Trump
Seems this “Hormuz Letter” is a hardliner mouthpiece. I hope this report is not true.

NEW: With Iran rejecting Trump‘s claim that it has agreed to surrender its enrichment uranium, the IRGC has now completely closed off all access to its entire stockpile of near bomb-grade uranium, deliberately collapsing tunnels and installing hundreds of explosive mines at the entrances of Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow, per CNN.
Iran is preparing for the scenario where no deal is signed and the US moves to seize the material by force. Currently Trump falsely claims there is an agreement, while the IRGC is actively mining the entrances that he claims will be used in his “peaceful” retrieval scenario.
Iran is continuing the fortification and mining with large controlled explosions conducted today at Isfahan, per Tasnim.

Besides just wanting to know the basics like Maya mentioned with frequencies my interest is not learning a different totally different trade at this point but two things. The growing weakness although slow of the magnetic field that shields life on earth from radiation. From floods to fire? Two doing DD for financial reasons. The shields their using to try to deflect radiation in space like aluminum that’s different than earth where lead would but not in space it would cause more damage and to shield the chips. Not just space but on earth as in over heating. Ie Bitcoin.
Here’s one example here’s one of them they need.
China holds a near-monopoly on global primary gallium production, accounting for over 98% of worldwide output. Because gallium is extracted as a byproduct during the processing of bauxite (the ore used to make aluminum), China’s massive aluminum industry enables them to dictate global supply chains and pricing. [1, 2, 3]
Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
-
- Byproduct reliance: Gallium is never mined directly. Its availability is tied to aluminum production dynamics.
- Export controls: Beijing has leveraged this dominance through strict export licensing, sending shockwaves through the tech and semiconductor sectors.
- Lack of recycling: Less than 1% of gallium is recovered from end-of-life electronics, compounding supply shortages. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Western Diversification Efforts
-
- North American Initiatives: Companies like Indium Corporation are partnering with mining giants to extract gallium from North American bauxite sources. Firms like US Critical Materials are targeting production independence using domestic deposits. [1, 2, 3]
- International Partnerships: Projects in Western Australia are looking to establish alternative raw material pipelines for the U.S. and its allies. [1, 2]

Space (the final frontier…)
Goldie & ferrett, I have used both of those sites. Spaceweather has more general-interest stuff along with the instruments. Solarham.com I use daily on our ham nets. A Canadian ham aggregates all the solar data for the day and gives a concise report. We use the information to predict radio propagation in the ionosphere… which is energized by the sun.

As far as satellites the” South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA),” when rotating is A constant doesn’t help.
solarham.com is a similar site.
Not for light browsing if you are actually interested in the sun’s effect on our weather though. It is complex stuff with many unknowns but as it isn’t a government website, and as AI is not involved, these unknowns are freely admitted to.
On goldie’s site the starlink losses intrigued me. The eventual plan is for 42,000 satellites, each weighing 1,760lbs, which will last five years in orbit – that means at saturation over 8,000 satelites will burn up every year. And then there is the space weather problem. If you think earthly forecasts are bad, the data set for solar wind, which was only discovered 70 years ago, is sparse so expect more surprises like this:

Someone sent me this link, all about space including solar flares with other links. Subscription is free. In case your interested. It’s a little too much for me unless I go back to a computer instead of tiny small print. She uses a computer never a mobile phone less a emergency. . My friend doesn’t do anything little.. ps scrolling it a lot about space X on there.

BREAKING: Iran says talks have now “completely stalled” due to Trump’s positions and actions, saying that as long as Trump does not accept all of Iran’s demands in the draft, the 60-day negotiation period has no chance of beginning and Iran won’t sign, per a source close to Iran’s Ghalibaf.
Vance’s new statements say the deal involves “no cash” and “no funds released for signing,” while Iran’s draft requires the US to release $24 billion in frozen funds and pay Iran $300 billion in war reparations before Iran signs anything.
There clearly isn’t an agreement.
Shares held up despite
The usual end of day selling in the metals. I’d like to think we have a bottom, but it always seems like pm bottoms must be tested.
Be good when Maddog gets back, I want to see if those $15-$20K options for December are still in place.
Good weekend all, I expect the non-war to be on and off a couple times over the weekend.

Yeah, I’d only be good for a week or so at that rate. 🤔

“leaving a mark”
If it was me I’d soon be broke! 😉
I could be wrong but
The first time the HUI got up to 630 was 20 years ago. It next got there again in 2011. Then of course it blew through it last year on its way to the high of 986.
I guess I find it interesting that we just bounced off that level yesterday. Magnets.
A-good couple of days for the shares all things considered.
ZH has an article
Saying that the Iran says the deal is virtually done and they appear giddy.
Who knows what the heck to believe anymore. Yesterday was Trump’s 38th time saying things were about done – literally 38 times. Now he says there’s some fake news?
Ipso – no doubt the blockade is leaving a mark.
Trump himself rejects what the Iranians are saying

The blockade has really got to be hurting them! How many millions a day are they losing? Did I hear 700? How long can they hold out?
Seems to be a lot of difference in the draft peace proposals announced by the US and those from Iran. It would be no surprise if the whole thing fell apart.
Correction $435 millions a day
“The $435 million‑per‑day number cited repeatedly in international media is attributed to reporting in the Wall Street Journal and is echoed by NDTV and Iran’s central bank warnings; those sources frame the figure as the approximate daily economic damage to Iran from a U.S. blockade that cuts off most seaborne trade and forces oil field shutdowns”
