Geopolitics escalated overnight. Iran fired warning shots at US destroyers. Hezbollah rejected the ceasefire. BTC bleeding continues.
๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท IRAN FIRES WARNING SHOTS AT US DESTROYERS
Iran's navy fired "Qadir" cruise missiles and "Shahid Dana" drones as warning shots toward two US destroyers, DDG-103 and DDG-87 of the USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group, in the Gulf of Oman .
The two versions:
ยท Iran's claim: Destroyers subsequently left for the Indian Ocean. Part of Iran's campaign to counter "maritime malicious acts"
ยท US Central Command: Denied the incident entirely. Says Iranian forces did not fire at US Navy warships
Nuclear deal update: Iran also dismissed reports that it agreed to transfer enriched uranium to a third country. Fars news agency said nuclear issues are "basically not on the current agenda" of US-Iran talks and will only be discussed at later stages .
๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ง HEZBOLLAH REJECTS CEASEFIRE โ DEMANDS FULL ISRAELI WITHDRAWAL
Hezbollah's chief Naim Qassem rejected the conditional truce announced by Lebanese and Israeli envoys, demanding a "comprehensive ceasefire" and full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon .
His words: "The ceasefire must be comprehensiveโฆ without the Israeli enemy having the freedom to kill" .
What he's threatening: "As long as our villages are unsafe โ being bombed, destroyed and our people killed โ the settlements (north Israel) are unsafe" .
Reality check: This is not the first time a ceasefire has been announced. A previous truce on April 17 has been breached daily. Israeli forces remain deep inside Lebanese territory . Lebanon's president called this the "last chance" for a durable end to fighting โ but Hezbollah says pulling back would amount to "surrender and defeat" .
On the ground: Israeli strikes hit more than 40 locations in Lebanon's south and east on Thursday. Eight people were killed โ five in eastern Lebanon, three near the southern city of Tyre .

The theory circulating: Ash Crypto highlighted speculation that institutions are purposely crashing the Bitcoin price so they can buy at lower prices before the CLARITY Act is signed into law โ a pattern similar to August 2022 when BlackRock filed for a private Bitcoin trust and BTC later dropped 36% before forming a bottom .
Michael Saylor's take: "Capital rotation, not BTC impairment" โ $400 billion deployed into AI buildout over six months while BTC ETFs saw $4 billion outflows since May 14. "Volatility creates opportunity" .
Analyst warning: Ali Martinez says BTC could drop to next major support between $54,000 and $50,000 .
