🇮🇷🇮🇱 NETANYAHU TO IRAN: "TRY SOMETHING AND FIND OUT"
Netanyahu just warned Iran of "horrible consequences" for any direct aggression. Israel's monitoring the unrest - but touch us and we finish what we started.
Basically saying:
'If you think lashing out at Israel during your collapse buys you legitimacy - it buys you annihilation instead.'
Here's the danger: Desperate regimes do the rally-around-the-flag play.
Strike Israel, pivot from "regime killing protesters" to "nation under attack."
Works every time - until it doesn't.
Iran could absolutely try it. Launch some missiles, hope the population stops chanting "Death to Khamenei" and starts backing the fight.
Problem: they're militarily gutted and everyone knows it.
Netanyahu's warning is calling their bluff.
You can distract your population OR you can survive our response. Not both.
Iran's on day 13 of uprising, 65 dead, 180 cities burning. U.S. just hit ISIS in Syria. Trump threatened strikes.
Iran's already operating from catastrophic weakness.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 U.S. MILITARY AIRLIFT SURGE TO MIDDLE EAST, SAME PATTERN AS JUNE'S IRAN STRIKE
Dozens of C-17 Globemasters flying from US bases through UK to Al Udeid Qatar and Saudi Arabia since January 1st.
160th SOAR (Night Stalkers) special ops at RAF Fairford. AC-130J gunships landed nearby. MQ-4C drones running daily recon over Strait of Hormuz.
Two carriers in theater: USS Carl Vinson and USS Nimitz. 180 aircraft total, F-35Cs and F/A-18s.
In short:
This exact playbook ran in June 2025 before Operation Midnight Hammer - when B-2s dropped 30,000-pound bunker busters on Fordow and Natanz nuclear sites.
Trump said January 2nd: if Iran kills protestors, "we will come to their rescue."
Pentagon won't comment. Iran's already boosted air defenses nationwide.
Reports: Khamenei's inner circle moving gold and families to Moscow. Not fleeing yet, but building the exit.
Could be deterrence. Could be prep. But when Night Stalkers stage in UK heading east, it's never just a drill.

Yes, Mossad and Trump will definitely take advantage of the weakness of the Iranian regime
You'd be naive to think otherwise. Both countries have dreamt for decades to topple the regime.
However this does NOT mean the protests are "orchestrated" by foreign intelligence.
These are Iranians fighting for their country, for a better future, and foreign intelligence may play a covert role to support the protesters.
This is the reality we live in.

3 months ago on this date, the crypto market experienced its biggest crash in history.
$20B+ in liquidations happened.
$900B was wiped out from the crypto market.
Large caps dropped 50%-70% in a few minutes.
People lost their lives and savings But we still don’t know who was really behind it.
Which exchange was at fault here?
Which MM got wiped out?
And we can all see the price action since then.
The crypto market has become inversely correlated to every global asset class.
No amount of bullish news has brought a rally.
Now I only hope that the Clarity Act approves soon so that we can get rid of daily crypto manipulation.

🚨President Trump says the credit card interest rates will be capped at 10% starting Jan 20, 2026.
This would be one of the biggest changes to consumer finance in decades.
Right now, most Americans are paying 20–30% interest on their credit cards. That means a large part of their monthly payment is not reducing debt, it is just servicing interest. A 10% cap would cut that burden almost in half.
For a household, this is simple:
less money lost to banks,
more money staying in their pocket every month.
More cash in hand means:
• Better ability to pay bills
• Lower financial stress
• More room to spend on daily needs
• And more risk appetite
The U.S. credit card market is over $1.3 trillion. Americans pay more than $100 billion every year just in interest.
If even a small part of that stays with consumers, it becomes spending power. That is a direct liquidity injection into households increasing their risk appetite.
Equities usually respond before anything else. And when equities stabilize, crypto tends to follow because risk appetite improves.
Now comes the bearish risk.
Banks earn a huge part of their profits from credit card interest. At 10%, margins compress sharply.
So banks have a choice:
• accept lower profits
• or protect themselves by tightening lending
That means:
• lower credit limits
• fewer approvals
• stricter lending rules
If this happens, millions of households could lose access to credit.
And that flips the entire outcome.
Instead of more spending, you get:
• less borrowing
• less consumption
• slower money circulation
So this policy has two completely different futures:
1) If credit stays available: This becomes a consumer liquidity boost.
Spending rises > Retail benefits > Markets strengthen > Crypto follows risk on sentiment.
2) If credit tightens: This becomes a credit contraction event.
Spending falls > Banks pull back > Markets get cautious > Crypto faces risk off pressure.
The most important thing will be how this is managed, so that it boosts the economy and does not cripple it.

The uncertainty continues.
🚨 UPDATE: The U.S. Supreme Court did not issue a ruling on the Trump tariffs case today.
This means the legal uncertainty we mentioned yesterday remains unresolved.
The two key risks are still on the table:
• Potential refunds of tariffs already collected
• Loss of the projected $3 trillion deficit reduction over the next decade Until the Court rules, tariffs stay in place, but markets are waiting
This delay extends near-term uncertainty around trade policy, government revenue, and the broader macro impact.

🚨TRUMP JUST LAUNCHED HIS OWN QE
President Trump has ordered government agencies to buy $200B worth of mortgage-backed securities.
Buying mortgage bonds pushes mortgage rates lower, which reduces monthly payments and improves housing affordability for buyers and existing homeowners.
Lower mortgage payments mean households keep more cash each month. That boosts savings and disposable income, which usually flows back into spending across the economy.
This $200B was idle cash sitting on the sidelines. Now it is being deployed into the financial system, increasing liquidity rather than tightening it.
More liquidity + lower borrowing costs are typically supportive for risk assets.
Historically, when housing stress eases and cash circulation improves, equities benefit first and crypto tends to follow.
