Notable absence of Artesh leadership among those killed; only IRGC commanders have been targeted.

$1B to $30B in 15 months 🤯

The forward 12-month P/E ratio for $SPX is 19.8, which is below the 5-year average (19.9) but above the 10-year average (18.9). #earnings, #earningsinsight, bit.ly/4m4EMj4

Market pricing still indicates a temporary war. In comparison to 2022, neither credit spreads or breakevens have risen as aggressively (no "stagflationary smile" in the data yet).

MORE: China is helping Iran reconstitute the Iranian missile program amid US-Israeli efforts to degrade it. The Telegraph reported that five shipments of likely sodium perchlorate, a key precursor for solid missile propellant, have arrived in Iran from China. All the vessels are owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line Group (IRISL), which the United States sanctioned in 2021. Four of the vessels are docked or floating near the port in Chabahar, Sistan and Baluchistan Province, and one of the vessels is docked or near Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, according to Starboard Maritime Intelligence. China has previously supplied sodium perchlorate to support Iran’s ballistic missile program. The combined force has targeted several elements of the Iranian ballistic missile program, including missile fuel and solid propellant motor production sites. China’s efforts to help Iran reconstitute could undermine the combined force efforts to degrade or destroy the supporting elements of the ballistic missile program, however.

BREAKING: Iranian civilians in Dehdasht are reportedly blocking the streets to prevent Islamic regime forces from searching for the second pilot. Iranian people are amazing.

NEW: "If they don't make a deal and fast, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil," President Trump told me. President Trump added that he believes he'll be able to get a deal with Iran by tomorrow.

A Chinese engineering student built a weather tracking station in his dorm. Three Mac Minis. Two monitors. Satellite maps on both screens. Labels on each box: UI/UX. DEV. ADMIN. Total cost under $2,000. His roommate thought it was a climate research project. His professors thought it was a thesis prototype. He let everyone keep thinking that. Then someone noticed what the station was actually connected to. A wallet. Making $101K. Betting on the temperature. ColdMath. $101,042 profit. 5,252 predictions. Joined November 2025. Bio: Edge Compounds. → @ColdMath?via=carverfomo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@ColdMath?via=… The station does one thing. Claude pulls live pilot weather data. Real sensors. Real readings. Updated every 1-3 hours from stations worldwide. Compares it to prediction market prices. When they don't match the DEV box flags it. Mismatch found. He places the trade. Green result. $25 on Tokyo hitting 16C on March 20. Payout: $12,452. $24 on Chicago reaching 54F on March 11. Payout: $12,398. $13 on Lucknow hitting 39C on March 7. Payout: $6,850. Twenty five dollar bets returning twelve thousand. On the weather. A friend who flies commercial told him pilots get atmospheric data hours before any public forecast. Temperature to a tenth of a degree. This data is free. Aviation safety requires it. Nobody outside of aviation even looks at it. He looked. Pointed Claude at the feeds. Said: find me every city where the forecast doesn't match the price. Claude found dozens. Every single day. His roommate saw the station running one morning and finally asked what it actually does. The student showed him the balance. The roommate didn't say anything. Just asked for a second monitor. 34K people watching. $96K still loaded in active positions. Three Mac Minis. Two screens. One quiet kid who realized the most predictable thing on Earth is the thing everyone ignores. The weather.

Tonight, people around Dehdasht provided an important help to the American pilot. By showing up in large numbers on the roads, they effectively blocked the ONLY POSSIBLE ground route for the Islamic regime’s forces to reach to the area the pilot had ejected on. I am so proud of these noble people❤️. With empty hands and their lives in their hands isolated with NO INTERNET FOR 36 days now, they are doing everything they can to support this military strike as it is the ONLY opening they can have to GET RID of this terrorist regime, which they can never get rid of unarmed AS THEY ARE. #FreeIran‌ #IranRevolution2026‌ #LongLiveIran_JavidShah

The video is shaky nighttime footage from a first-person view (likely helmet or dash cam) on a dark road in Dehdasht, Iran. It shows dozens of civilian cars—mostly white sedans and SUVs—parked bumper-to-bumper, blocking the road with taillights and headlights on. People are standing around, getting in/out of vehicles, and milling about, forming what appears to be a deliberate civilian roadblock. This matches reports of locals tonight impeding regime forces to aid the US pilot rescue. It was first published moments ago today (April 5, 2026) in ZaraTaban's post.

This is exactly why I will NEVER put my kids in anything but a Tesla

Spoke with @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. Constructive discussion and exchange of ideas on Nato, Ukraine and Iran. Problems are there to be solved, pragmatically.

BREAKING: The US Financial Conditions Index is up to 99.17, the tightest financial conditions since June 2025. The index has surged +0.77 points over the last 20 days, the fastest increase since March-April 2025. This is also the 2nd-fastest pace of tightening since the 2022 Fed interest rate hiking cycle. This comes after the index fell to its lowest since May 2025 in February. The recent surge has been fueled by rising Treasury yields, oil prices, and the US Dollar, along with widening credit spreads and falling stock prices. Tighter financial conditions suggest a further slowdown in economic activity in the upcoming months. The US economy needs lower yields.

Druckenmiller used to throw up once or twice a week from the anxiety. This is the raw reality of trading. Watch the full clip:

Druckenmiller did it again… He said he was long global markets in an interview with Morgan Stanley. Global markets have been beating the US by a wide margin since 2025. They are still relatively cheap and Druckenmiller is still long.

Keir Starmer: “We will arrest Netanyahu if he steps on British soil.” Also Keir Starmer: *Literally invites a former Al-Qaeda terrorist to the UK*

What can the Saudis do? Um… how about weaponizing oil? Saudis can keep ~3 million b/d offline. Export nothing from the East side and only export from the Red Sea.

If someone had said 30 years ago that countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia would be better allies to Israel and the US than countries like France and the UK, no one would have believed them. And yet here we are.
