Dr Pelosi - 2026 SPX target 8000 Q4 now 7260

BREAKING: US military says it conducted strikes in southern Iran, targeting vessels and missile launch sites.

RECAP: Israel launched Operation Arrows of Fire tonight. 70+ Hezbollah sites struck across Lebanon. Beirut's southern suburbs evacuating. Schools in northern Israel closed tomorrow. Netanyahu ordered the military to step on the gas. And they did. Simultaneously, explosions hit Bandar Abbas, Iran's primary naval base and the command hub for the Strait of Hormuz. Similar sounds reported at Sirik and Jask. A US Air Force tanker is currently orbiting over the Gulf of Oman. Unconfirmed reports of a clash between IRGC and US Navy vessels in the Strait. Iran warned Washington that Israeli strikes on Beirut could kill the nuclear deal. Washington is coordinating the Lebanon operation with Israel. Both things are true at the same time. Iran's top negotiators landed in Qatar anyway. Trump said today: "The deal will either be great and meaningful, or there will be no deal." Meanwhile Hamas told everyone what they already suspected. Gaza is not part of any agreement, Tehran never told them otherwise, and if Lebanon goes quiet they know exactly what happens to them next. Lebanon's death toll hit 3,185 since March 2. The Strait is still at 5% capacity. JD Vance is being sidelined. Rubio is winning the Iran argument inside the White House. On a different note, Russia's Lavrov called Rubio to warn him that Russia is planning systematic strikes on Kyiv and the US should evacuate its embassy. Pope Leo formally apologized for the Church's role in the slave trade and warned about AI in a 42,300-word encyclical. The Vatican is now partnering with Anthropic. Some nights are harder to keep up with than others. This was one of them.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Rubio just said the deal is still possible "within days"... "There were some talks going on in Qatar today, so we'll see if we can make progress. I think it's a lot of talking back and forth going on about specific language in the initial document, so it'll take a few days... The president's expressed his desire to make it. He's either going to make a good deal or no deal" The U.S. is simultaneously striking Iranian military targets and negotiating the final language of a peace agreement. That tells you more about how close this deal is than any official statement. Neither side is willing to let combat derail the negotiations at this stage. They're too close to the finish line to start over, even while shooting at each other. Source: CBS

🚨🇺🇸 The loudest opposition to the Iran deal this weekend came from inside Trump's own party... A wave of Republican heavyweights tore into the emerging framework. Ted Cruz called it a "disastrous mistake." Roger Wicker, who chairs Senate Armed Services, warned everything Operation Epic Fury achieved "would be for naught." Mike Pompeo posted "Not remotely America First." Lindsey Graham piled on. Then came the pivot. Trump called on Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Pakistan to normalize with Israel through the Abraham Accords. By Monday, Graham flipped and called the move "simply brilliant." The normalization push hands the hawks a regional triumph to rally behind. Whether the Gulf states ever sign is another question entirely. Source: WSJ

Rubio says finalizing the wording of a potential Iran agreement may require several days of talks.

BREAKING: U.S. Central Command says American forces carried out “self-defense strikes” against IRGC boats allegedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as missile sites near Bandar Abbas, amid rising tensions in the Gulf. (New York Post) Separately, a source close to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf claims Tehran’s “decisive response” is now underway and that negotiations have effectively collapsed following the strikes.
