BREAKING: According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a "14-point" deal to end the war. At 3:40 AM ET today, nearly 10,000 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken without any major news. This is equivalent to ~$920 million in notional value, an unusually large trade for 3:40 AM ET. At 4:50 AM ET, just 70 minutes later, Axios reported that the US is "close" to a "memorandum of understanding" to end the Iran War. By 7:00 AM ET, oil prices had fallen over -12% with these crude oil shorts gaining approximately +$125 million. Minutes later, Iran launched the "Persian Gulf Strait Authority" and oil prices surged +8%. What just happened?

🚨 Donald Trump is offering a new justification for the war today, claiming the U.S. had to strike Iran because “if we waited any longer – if we didn’t hit within two weeks – they would have had a nuclear weapon.” ▪️U.S. intelligence assessments in recent years have consistently said Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon, though it has expanded enrichment capacity. ▪️ The U.S. intelligence community’s annual threat assessments have repeatedly stated that Iran’s leadership has not made the decision to build a nuclear bomb. ▪️ The IAEA has confirmed Iran enriched uranium to high levels (up to about 60% purity), which is not yet weapons-grade, and does not mean a bomb is imminent. Turning that material into a deliverable nuclear weapon would take additional steps and time. ▪️ Weapons experts agree the timeline from enriched uranium to an actual deployable nuclear weapon is far longer than two weeks — about 6-9 months.
