A Guarda Revolucionária Islâmica do Irã atacou, na quinta-feira, um navio cargueiro com bandeira de Singapura no Estreito de Ormuz, de acordo com dois altos funcionários dos EUA.
O ataque parece testar um acordo assinado na semana passada entre os EUA e o Irã, com o objetivo de encerrar as hostilidades e reabrir a via marítima crítica.
O Estreito de Ormuz é um dos gargalos de trânsito de petróleo mais vitais do mundo.
As forças da Guarda Revolucionária Islâmica do Irã atacaram, na quinta-feira, um navio cargueiro com bandeira de Singapura no Estreito de Ormuz, segundo dois altos funcionários dos EUA.
O ataque acontece apenas alguns dias depois de os EUA e o Irã assinarem um acordo para encerrar as hostilidades e reabrir a via marítima crítica — o que levanta dúvidas sobre o compromisso de Teerã com o acordo.
O Estreito de Ormuz responde por cerca de um terço do tráfego global de petróleo por via marítima.
Um navio cargueiro não identificado foi atingido por um projétil desconhecido no Estreito de Ormuz. Foi reportado dano na ponte enquanto a embarcação seguia para sudeste a partir de Omã, segundo a Operação de Comércio Marítimo do Reino Unido. Até o momento, não há detalhes sobre a identidade do navio, sua bandeira ou sobre quem lançou o ataque. O estreito é um gargalo crítico para o transporte global de petróleo.

Pakistan's delegation is attending a financial technology conference in Zurich focused on stablecoins, tokenization, AI agents, and emerging payment infrastructure. The country aims to engage with and potentially influence the development of these technologies as they transition from concepts to core economic infrastructure.
Europe is about to see a DeFi surge alongside a wave of small, locally-regulated centralized exchanges. These national CEXs—already under the thumb of local banks and governments—are racing to get MICA-registered as their main selling point. Several are already positioning themselves to grab market share. Users will decide where their money goes.
Bilal bin Saqib is speaking at the Point Zero Forum in Zurich, where central bankers, regulators, and financial leaders are gathered to discuss the future of finance.
On the agenda: stablecoins, agentic AI payments, tokenization, and cross-border payment rails.
The decisions made here could shape how billions of people move money in the coming years.
Revolut taps Luis Figo as brand ambassador just as MiCA regulations kick in—ironic timing given the football legend faced a major tax controversy years ago but ultimately walked away clean. The crypto firm's choice of spokesperson raising eyebrows as EU compliance rules take effect.
Worldcoin's World ID is expanding beyond crypto into mainstream apps. The protocol now offers human verification for platforms like Tinder, Docusign, and Zoom — aiming to prove you're talking to a real person, not a bot or catfish. Think of it as a digital proof-of-personhood layer that doesn't require sharing personal data. Could be a big unlock for dating apps and remote work tools drowning in fake accounts.
A Pakistani developer has been losing hours to AI—not his job, but the volume. A Western client recently cut project hours by roughly a third after adopting AI tools internally. The developer still has the work, just less of it.
Pakistan's IT exports hit nearly $5 billion, growing 33% year-over-year with 2.3 million workers in the fourth fastest-growing freelance market globally. The industry was built on a wage gap: senior devs in Pakistan charge $28-$40/hour versus $150-$180 in the US.
AI is erasing that advantage. One developer with the right tools now handles what previously required several. Companies that once needed 40 hours of Pakistani labor now need 15. Freelancers tracking their billing data are already seeing the shift.
Most of Pakistan's 2.3 million digital workers haven't received this message yet. The question: will they build something they own before the old outsourcing model fully contracts, or after?
