On my first visit to Dakhla in the Moroccan Sahara, I was honored to be greeted by Ali Khalil, Wali of Dakhla-Oued Eddahab Region. From the deepwater port under construction, vast new opportunities for trade and investment are opening for this region and the United States is keen to be a part of it.

I'm endlessly proud of Egypt. Allowing your currency to fall when bad shocks hit isn't easy, but it's better than trying to defend what isn't sustainable. Egypt learned the right lessons from the past and for that it deserves huge praise. A game changer... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/egypt-gets-i…

Another Delay for the U.S. War on Iran: Saudi-Pakistani Mediation Persuades Trump to Suspend Action in the Strait of Hormuz Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced today that U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to pause 'Project Freedom' in the Strait of Hormuz, in direct response to diplomatic efforts led by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Sharif praised President Trump’s 'courageous leadership,' noting that the decision followed a joint request from Islamabad and Riyadh. He specifically highlighted the pivotal role played by Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in reaching this strategic breakthrough. This decision is regarded as a decisive step toward defusing tensions in one of the world's most critical maritime corridors, paving the way for comprehensive de-escalation and regional reconciliation during this sensitive period. Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan's firm commitment to supporting dialogue and diplomacy, expressing optimism that this momentum would lead to a lasting agreement ensuring durable stability for the region and beyond. This announcement reflects the growing influence of the joint Saudi-Pakistani diplomacy and its ability to impact White House security decisions regarding Middle East dossiers. While no official comment has yet been issued by Washington regarding the details or the duration of the suspension, the Pakistani statements confirm the existence of major behind-the-scenes understandings aimed at redrawing the region's balance of power, away from direct military confrontation.
Shehbaz Sharif@CMShehbaz

I am grateful to President Donald Trump for his courageous leadership and timely announcement regarding the pause in Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump's gracious response to the request made by Pakistan and other brotherly countries, particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and my dear brother Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia H.R.H Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will go a long way towards advancing regional peace, stability and reconciliation during this sensitive period. Pakistan remains firmly committed to supporting all efforts that promote restraint and a peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy. We are very hopeful that the curent momentum will lead to a lasting agreement that secures durable peace and stability for the region and beyond. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi @KSAmofaEN

It is sad to see this: when those who defrauded you of your money use that very money to fund the troll armies attacking you, to pay the wages of those who come after you, to underwrite the whole operation. “Ungrateful” doesn’t capture it. We must become strong enough to defeat people like this, not just for ourselves, but for the users who stand behind us, and for the commitment we owe to this entire industry.

Peter Girnus 🦅@gothburz·
I have armed civilians in five countries. I wrote the cable for the sixth in September. I am a case officer in the CIA's Near East Division. I have held this post for thirty-one years. My performance reviews describe me as "consistently exceeding expectations in partner force development." I want to be precise about what I do. I identify civilian populations with grievances against their government. I assess which grievances are exploitable. I write a cable recommending a covert action finding. The finding goes to the president. The president signs. I receive a budget. I purchase weapons through intermediary nations who sign end-user certificates stating the weapons are for their own military. They are not for their own military. Everyone who signs knows this. Everyone who signs has always known this. The genius of the certificate is that it is true when signed. The weapons are for the ministry's border patrol. For twelve months, this is a fact. On month thirteen, it is not. The certificate has expired by then. I have sat in hotel rooms in three countries while a man I will meet once signs a document stating these weapons are for his ministry's border patrol. He does not look at me. I do not look at the weapons manifest. We are finished in eleven minutes. I take the certificate. He takes the routing number. We do not shake hands. The first time was before me. Tehran. 1953. Operation AJAX. Kermit Roosevelt did not arm civilians. He bought them. A million dollars for the whole operation. Overthrew Mossadegh in four days. Reinstalled the Shah. The Shah lasted twenty-six years. Then came 1979. The revolution. The hostage crisis. Forty-seven years of American policy defined by a coup that cost less than a Georgetown townhouse. I was not born yet. But that operation built my division. I inherited its funding line, its intermediary networks, its end-user certificate templates. The templates have not changed. The letterhead has. Afghanistan. 1979 to 1989. Operation Cyclone. We provided over two billion dollars in weapons to the mujahideen. Stinger missiles. Kalashnikovs. Training manuals. I wrote three of those manuals. The one on field medicine was thorough. I was proud of it. My performance review cited "exceptional initiative in capability development." The mujahideen bled the Soviets for a decade. I received a commendation. I rotated out. The Taliban formed five years later. From the mujahideen. Using our weapons. Using the organizational structures we taught them. Using the Stingers we provided. They took Kabul in 1996. They hosted bin Laden. They are in power today. We offered up to six figures per missile to buy the Stingers back. We had provided them for free. We recovered perhaps three hundred out of twenty-five hundred. The rest are still in circulation. Some ended up in Iran. This is called "program wind-down." The field medicine manual appeared in a captured materials index in 2014. Translated into Arabic. The tourniquet chapter was unchanged. I am told the techniques remain effective. I have not asked in whose hands. I was in Ankara by then. My cable noted the transition as a regional development. I did not write the next cable. 1991. We broadcast on CIA-funded radio for Iraqi civilians to rise against Saddam. The Shia rose. The Kurds rose. We had encouraged them. Then Saddam sent helicopter gunships. We watched. The no-fly zone did not cover helicopters. We had not specified helicopters. This was the second time we abandoned the Kurds. The first was 1975. We armed them against Saddam on the Shah's behalf. Then the Shah made his deal with Baghdad. The Algiers Agreement. Overnight, our program ended. The Kurds were slaughtered. Henry Kissinger was asked about it. He said, "Covert action should not be confused with missionary work." I have it framed above my desk. I have read it every morning for twenty-six years. I was in Amman by then. Libya. Two sentences. We armed the rebels against Gaddafi. Gaddafi died in a drainage ditch on camera. The rebels kept the weapons. The weapons migrated to Mali, to Syria, to a dozen countries we did not intend. Libya became three competing governments and open-air slave markets. My lessons-learned contribution was four pages. I was in Doha by then. Syria. Timber Sycamore. 2012 to 2017. One billion dollars. The largest covert action finding since Cyclone. We trained and armed moderate rebels. The moderates defected. Sold their weapons to al-Nusra. Al-Nusra rebranded. The weapons ended up with groups we were simultaneously targeting with Predator drones. We were arming and bombing the same people. One of my trainees appeared in strike imagery four years after his graduation from the program. Different flag. Same Kalashnikov. His field-strip technique was correct. I had taught it to him personally. The strike was approved in eleven minutes. I did not flag the overlap. This is called "force disposition change." Every weapon has a serial number. Every serial number traces to a purchase order. Every purchase order traces to a cable. In 2016, a photograph appeared in a Conflict Armament Research report. I recognized the serial number prefix before I read the caption. The man holding the weapon was not a moderate rebel. The weapon was the same. The man was the same. The category had changed. The cable was mine. I flagged this in a cable. The cable was acknowledged. The program continued for two more years. I rotated out. I was in Langley by then, writing the lessons-learned document. We produce one after every program. They all say the same thing. We have never incorporated one into the next program. We remember perfectly. The lessons are not the point. The document is the point. The document allows the next finding to say "informed by prior operations." Page three of every lessons-learned document since 1989 recommends a blowback assessment window extending beyond the operational review cycle. I have written page three six times. It has never been incorporated into a finding. It does not need to be. It only needs to exist. My performance review covers twelve months. Blowback takes eighteen. I have never been present for the consequences of my own operations. Not once in thirty-one years. I initiate. I cable. I am reviewed. I am promoted. I rotate out. The next officer inherits the aftermath. Their cable describing the deterioration becomes the intelligence justification for the next finding. That finding is assigned to someone like me. The end-user certificates look the same. The letterhead changes. My hall file says "exceptional initiative in capability development." Six words. It does not specify which capability. It does not specify who developed it next. I sleep well. I mention this because people assume otherwise. I am aware of what happens to officers who speak outside channels. I am also aware that I rotate out in March. Every fact I have stated is available in open-source reporting. I have disclosed nothing. I have only arranged. Now Graham on Hannity. He calls it a "Second Amendment solution." He said it without a classification marking. Without a finding. Without an end-user certificate. Without an intermediary. On Fox News. At nine PM. I have spent thirty-one years in rooms where the fluorescent lights hum at a specific frequency and nothing is recorded. I write cables marked TOP SECRET//SI//NOFORN. I brief the Gang of Eight in a SCIF with no windows. I use phrases like "partner force enablement" and "indigenous capacity building." Graham called it a constitutional right. On Fox News. At nine PM. He said "there is no need for boots on the ground." He said "help is on the way." He was describing an intermediary purchase order routed through a Gulf state intelligence service with a false end-user certificate and a twelve-month shelf life before the weapons appear in hands we did not intend. He was describing my career. He did it in eleven words. He is describing a covert action finding against a government that exists because of a covert action finding. In my experience, senators do not describe operations on television before the finding is signed. Iran has nearly ninety million people. A domestic security apparatus that crushed a nationwide uprising in 2022 in under three months. Mandatory sentences for weapons possession. The logistics would require every intermediary network I have ever built, simultaneously, for years. I have never written a finding for a population this size. The models do not scale. I noted this in my cable. It was acknowledged. Afghanistan was twenty-five million. Five years from first Stinger to flag change. I have not been asked for an Iranian timeline. Timelines become findings. Findings become budgets. Budgets are reviewed in twelve months. He said it like it was a sentence. It is a career. I know because it is mine. My last cable was sent in September. It was acknowledged. My review will cover the first twelve months. I will not be present for month eighteen. I will retire with a full pension next year. I have a certificate on my wall from the Director of National Intelligence. It says "For Exceptional Service to the Nation." It does not specify which nation benefited. Above it, the Kissinger quote. I have read it every morning for twenty-six years. It has never once been wrong. I rotate out in March.

I am the Head of Decentralization at World Liberty Financial. My department has four people. We report to three founders. The founders can freeze any wallet on the network at any time for any reason without notice, without appeal, without vote, without disclosure. My job is to ensure this architecture is described, in all public-facing materials, as decentralized. I see no contradiction. We have a slide for that. Third slide. After Mission and before Roadmap. The Token Unlock Agreement is sixty-two pages. Page forty-seven contains the relevant clause. The company may, in its sole discretion, decline to unlock, restrict access to, or freeze any wallet associated with the protocol. Sole discretion. The communications team held a forty-minute call about whether to say sole discretion or appropriate discretion. I suggested sole. It's more honest. I was told that was the wrong reason to choose it but the right word regardless. Everyone signed off. The word sole appears eleven times in the final document. Justin Sun signed the agreement. Then he read it. His entity, Blue Anthem, purchased approximately thirty million dollars in tokens. Non-transferable. He received one billion additional tokens for serving on the Advisory Board. Also non-transferable. The vast majority of all tokens issued have been non-transferable since launch. I want to be clear: non-transferable means you own something you cannot move, cannot sell, cannot pledge, and cannot redeem. It also means decentralized. These are compatible. I wrote the FAQ. On August 31st, 2025, Sun's HTX exchange wallet executed three transfers to Binance. One hundred million USDT at 11:17 AM. One hundred million at 12:41 PM. One hundred million at 3:35 PM. Three hundred million dollars. All UTC. Less than twenty-four hours before the token went live for public trading. That is not a pattern. A pattern repeats irregularly. This was a schedule. September 1st. Public launch. The token opened and fell. Twenty-six percent. Open short positions surged twenty-three percent. The compliance team flagged the correlation. I was not on the compliance team. I was on the Decentralization Assurance team. Different mandate. We assured. We froze his wallet. The clause permits it. Page forty-seven. Sole discretion. We used our sole discretion. That is what sole discretion is for. I noted internally that freezing a single investor's wallet using a centralized kill switch while marketing the protocol as decentralized might present a communications challenge. I was told to update the FAQ. I updated the FAQ. The new FAQ explains that decentralization refers to the protocol's architecture, not its governance, and that governance actions taken in the interest of community protection are consistent with decentralized principles. I wrote that sentence. I believe it. I also laminated it. Sun posted on X. Four times. April 12th through April 15th. He told his four million followers we had a backdoor. He called the freeze function blacklisting. He called the governance votes predetermined. He called the token a personal ATM. He said the protocol was a trap door. First post. 1.7 million views. 6,800 favorites. Second post. 1.2 million. Third. 525,000. Fourth. 460,000. The token fell. His short positions, if he held them, appreciated. He called this transparency. We called it defamation. His counsel told our counsel they would light World Liberty on fire. They said the token would go to shit. Direct quote. Our counsel billed the hour. Clare Locke drafted the complaint. Thirty-eight pages. Two causes of action. Defamation. Defamation by implication. Amount in controversy exceeds $750,000. Filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, Complex Business Litigation Division. Page thirty-eight. The final page. Below the signature block. A certification I was not consulted on: "Generative artificial intelligence was used in the preparation of this filing." A presidential family's crypto venture filed an AI-generated defamation lawsuit against a Chinese billionaire for telling four million people that a decentralized token has a centralized kill switch. The token has a centralized kill switch. It is on page forty-seven. The lawsuit is on page thirty-eight. I see no irony. I am told there is some. Paragraphs two, twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-six, and twenty-nine of the complaint are redacted. Blacked out. Entirely. These are the paragraphs that explain the internal basis for freezing Sun's wallet. The specific evidence. The timeline of decisions. The names of who authorized what. We are suing a man for telling the public we lack transparency. The paragraphs explaining our actions are redacted. The redactions are standard procedure. I was not consulted on whether standard procedure and transparency are compatible. I would have said yes. I say yes to most things. That is what the Decentralization Assurance Office is for. I was asked at a conference last month what decentralized means in the context of a token where one party can freeze any wallet at any time for any reason without notice or appeal. I said it means the freeze function is documented. The audience wrote that down. Two people nodded. One raised her hand and asked where it was documented. I said page forty-seven. She did not ask a follow-up. Sun is right that we can freeze wallets. We are right that he moved three hundred million dollars to Binance eighteen hours before launch. He is right that governance votes are structured to produce predetermined outcomes. We are right that he threatened to destroy the token's value. He is right that we lack transparency. We are right that he is leveraging that fact for financial gain. Both sides proved the other's case. Neither side filed a motion to dismiss on that basis. The lawyers are billing. The token trades at eight cents. The FAQ has been updated. The freeze function remains active. The AI drafted the complaint. The redactions remain. The protocol is decentralized. I have the slide.

Brian Armstrong
Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong·
This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian
