$6.52 DIESEL SQUEEZES U.S. FISHING FLEETS
U.S. diesel prices have climbed to $6.529 per gallon, marking an 11th consecutive weekly increase and hammering fishing-industry margins.
Fishermen from Cape Cod to Alabama are cutting activity as fuel costs surge, while weak seafood demand limits their ability to recover costs through higher prices.
With distillate inventories historically tight, elevated diesel prices could keep pressure on fishing fleets well into 2027.

BREAKING: Iran has launched anti-ship missiles from Sirik in southern Iran toward vessels under US escort in the US-backed southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, with several large-scale explosions heard in the Strait over the past hour and at least one oil tanker confirmed hit, per initial reports.
Local sources say "a serious naval conflict" is ongoing tonight. The explosions in the past few hours are in the double digits, with further explosions minutes ago around Qeshm Island.

"If we stand united, we will soon see a world free at last from the 51-year menace of Iranian terror, & oil prices will come plummeting down even lower than they were at the start of the conflict. With courage & resolve, anything is possible."

BREAKING: Trump calls for a total ban on US diesel exports, saying "Let's not send out the diesel. We make a lot of diesel," that a decision would come "fast," and that an announcement is expected "very soon."
It would be the first US diesel export ban in history.
Europe stands to be hit hardest, as the US is the world's largest diesel exporter and Europe its biggest customer, buying record volumes since the Gulf barrels stopped, making its worst-ever energy crisis worse. Russia, the second largest exporter, has already halted its own exports.
US diesel is at a record $6.53 a gallon today and 16% of French stations are out of fuel.

6 VLCCs. Nearly 12 million barrels. One record loading day.
On 21 September, six VLCCs loaded nearly 12 million barrels at Ras Tanura and Juaymah — the busiest day at the complex since before the war.
Four entered the Gulf between 15–17 September, all in ballast and bound for Ras Tanura. Meanwhile, 25 of 26 inbound ballast crude-tanker crossings between 12–20 September were classified as Route Undetermined.

BREAKING: Iran has issued "Code 100," its highest alert level, for all armed forces in the past hour, covering the IRGC, the Army and security forces, per initial reports.
Trump cut short his weekend at Camp David to return to the White House tonight citing the potential for significant escalation, Netanyahu cut short his US trip to return to Israel the same day, and every US embassy in the Middle East has issued a security alert in the past hours.

BREAKING: Iran launches at least 4 waves of anti-ship cruise missiles and Shahed-136 drones from Bandar Abbas and Bandar Kong, toward vessels under US Navy escort in the US-backed southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, with the latest wave minutes ago, per multiple initial reports.
The target is a large US-escorted oil tanker convoy currently transiting the Omani route.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia announces a full shutdown of its East-West crude oil pipeline, which was attacked in multiple locations across the Riyadh and Madinah regions on Thursday morning, with the damage being addressed, per the Ministry of Energy.
This comes as initial reports from diplomatic channels say the pipeline has suffered catastrophic damage in at least 8 locations, after satellite data showed a fire burning along the pipeline route southeast of Medina with a black smoke plume now 115 km long.
The pipeline, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz, has a capacity of 7 million barrels per day. Nothing is now moving through it.

Holy shit. Anthropic caught Iran using Claude to target Navy bases, automate dossiers on Americans, and run influence campaigns on US social media. Details are insane. The morons uploaded everything including the organization plans of the Ayatollah's funderal lmao
We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.
It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.
We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.
These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.
We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

This is one of my favorite accounts for war, which is equal to macro.
He literally does not sleep and 100% reliable.
Highly recommended!

“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost —taking out three of yours. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet.” — Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander.

BREAKING: Iran launches a surprise attack in a wave of ballistic missiles at US forces in the Middle East, with a direct hit reported on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan just a few minutes ago.
This breaks the 5-consecutive-night pause of strikes and breaks the temporary ceasefire.
