Massive Ukrainian bombing raid on three Russian chemicals plants in Togliatti on the Volga, some 600 miles away. It’s as far from Ukraine as Switzerland or Denmark.

🚨 IRGC COMMAND HIT — DECAPITATION STRIKE IN TEHRAN A major intelligence-led operation has reportedly taken out a senior IRGC command and control centre in Tehran. Dozens of top officials — eliminated in one strike.

BREAKING: I have obtained the first two images leaked from Iran showing the total destruction of major petrochemical plants and oil refineries in Mahshahr as a result of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. This is expected to trigger another major global energy crisis, as the IRGC is likely to retaliate by targeting major oil facilities in Saudi Arabia and Israel in response. Saudi Arabia has played a strategic role by hosting Prince Sultan Air Base, from which KC-135R and KC-46A tankers have been refueling U.S. and Israeli fighter jets involved in these operations. As a result, Saudi oil infrastructure is likely to become a primary target in Iran’s response. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

Macron: The European Council is slow, but we know how to respond to crises. We respect the rule of law and international law. We are not in favor of trade tariffs. We don't believe in the law of the strongest, and we are committed to that. 1/

BREAKING: In just few hours, the oil price will reach to $200 USD per barrel! Heavy U.S. and Israeli airstrikes have targeted the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in southern Iran. This is one of Iran’s major oil infrastructures. Multiple explosions were reported minutes ago, with at least 25 heavy blasts recorded across the area. Facilities including Marun, Karoun, Bandar Imam, Amir Kabir, Razi petrochemicals, and Fajr 1 & 2 power plants were hit. Large columns of smoke are rising from the petrochemical complex as a result of the strikes. Further updates are expected. The IRGC is expected to retaliate this by heavily targeting major oil infrastructures of Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the Saudis had an important role in the airstrikes against the oil facilities of Iran today (by providing access to the Prince Sultan Air Base). #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

Macron: "Europe is an extremely attractive continent... and the Americans have given me an unprecedented selling point: we are predictable." We have many problems to fix, and we will fix them. But the old, dear Europe remains the safest and most reliable place to live. 🇪🇺

BREAKING: It’s almost as if Trump wants $10 gas. The US along with Israel have attacked a major petrochemical complex this morning, damaging multiple facilities. 5 plants in the Mahshahr area of Iran were reportedly struck. This will likely result in Iran attacking oil infrastructure across the region in retaliation.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷BREAKING | A few minutes ago, U.S. aviation struck and bombed major petrochemical facilities located in Iran’s Khuzestan province. It appears that Trump has begun carrying out his threats, with the destruction of Iran’s energy infrastructure now underway. See the latest updates with us: @visionergeo

The 'public good' in economics has been framed as correcting for what the private sector doesn't do. But you cannot do good without a new theory of what good actually is. Presenting my next book, The Common Good Economy at @HowToAcademy—a practical 'common good compass' to navigate our economies in a radically different direction. How do we value each other? Set up innovative collaborations? Share knowledge, risks and rewards? The how matters as much as the what. 2 June | 19:00 | St Martin-in-the-Fields | Ticket link below

JUST IN: The Laser and Plasma Research Institute at Shahid Beheshti University was bombed at 4 PM local time on April 3. The same day an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over central Iran by a passive infrared system whose operating principles were developed in laboratories exactly like the one that was just destroyed. The bomb arrived after the knowledge left. The war is trying to destroy what has already proven it works. The institute is not a civilian abstraction. Its former research director ran Project 3.30 of the Amad Plan, Iran’s nuclear weapons diagnostics programme. He oversaw implosion testing at Parchin. He published 98 journal articles, many in laser isotope separation. He was on the US sanctions list. He was assassinated in the initial strikes. Five nuclear scientists from Shahid Beheshti alone were killed in the first days. The university president said: “We have lost scientists, and this loss created a gap. They were key players who are gone from us today.” The gap is real. But the knowledge that matters most on April 3 is not nuclear. It is optical. The passive electro-optical and infrared detection that brought down the F-15E operates on principles that Iranian universities spent decades developing, principles that a Chinese engineer published as a tutorial on March 14, principles that cannot be unlearned by bombing the building where they were refined. You can destroy every laser laboratory in Iran. The equation does not live in the building. It lives in the papers, in the graduates, in the Chinese tutorial that has been downloaded and translated into every language spoken by every country that wants to defeat American stealth. The knowledge escaped the university before the bomb arrived. Three wars are running inside a single campaign. The military campaign destroys weapons: Iran’s navy eliminated, air force degraded, missile sites cratered. The knowledge campaign destroys the capacity to rebuild: six universities bombed, nuclear scientists assassinated at home, a professor and his two children killed in northern Tehran. The public health campaign destroys the capacity to keep 88 million people alive: the Pasteur Institute, a century-old biomedical institution, severely damaged. WHO confirmed over 20 attacks on healthcare facilities. Three hundred and seven health and emergency care centres damaged. Pharmaceutical companies struck after aerial maps warned civilians to evacuate. The military campaign has a logic. The knowledge campaign has a logic. The public health campaign has no logic that survives the Geneva Conventions. And the knowledge campaign has a fatal flaw: it is too late. The passive detection that brought down the F-15E is deployed, proven, shared. The laser institute is rubble. The technique it helped develop is in a crater with a $100 million aircraft inside it. The university called the strike “a direct attack on knowledge, research, and freedom of thought.” They are correct. But the attack on knowledge failed on the same day it was executed, because the knowledge had already left the building, crossed a border, entered a Chinese tutorial, travelled through Telegram channels, and guided a missile into the fuselage of a fighter jet from the squadron the President once called heroes. You can bomb the building. You cannot bomb the equation. And the equation is already in the crater, proven, replicated, and waiting for the next aircraft that assumes it is invisible to a sensor that reads heat instead of radar. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

❗️❗️🇩🇪🇺🇦 German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul: 📌 “It is in our shared interest for Ukraine to win its military confrontation with Russia. This should not be questioned — we must build on our successes.” 📌 “Germany has now become Ukraine’s main partner in Europe. President Zelensky confirmed this during my visit to Ukraine. I assured him that Germany will remain its strongest donor,” Wadephul said. See the latest updates with us: @NSTRIKE1231

Super interesting! "A Fabulous Debt: The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World" by Robin Wigglesworth. "Long considered the "boring" corner of finance, bonds are anything but. They have funded everything from the Crusades to climate tech, Netflix series to AI data centers. They are now bigger than the stock market and rival even the global banking system in influence. They are also misunderstood—treated as mere debt, when in fact their form, function, and impact are radically different. "Robin Wigglesworth—The Financial Times’ Global Finance Correspondent, and author of the acclaimed Trillions—offers a sweeping, affectionate history of the bond market. ...With clarity and wit, Wigglesworth takes readers from medieval Venice to modern Wall Street, tracing how bonds evolved from obscure financial instruments into the invisible architecture of the modern world. Along the way, we meet warlords and water boards, merchant princes and mathematicians, financiers and fraudsters—all of whom helped build the most powerful machine in global finance. This isn’t just a book about the past. It's a guide to the present and future of the financial system—and a love letter to the engine that keeps it running." amzn.to/4bRXes0
