The Iran escalation threat that legal experts have called a potential war crime is back on the table Monday as Trump’s naval blockade goes live and his earlier threats to destroy Iran’s power plants, bridges, and water desalination facilities remain publicly unretracted, with oil markets already pricing in the worst-case scenario for civilian infrastructure strikes. Summary Trump threatened in an expletive-laden April 5 Truth Social post to make “Tuesday Power Plant Day and Bridge Day” in Iran, warning that Iranians would be “living in Hell” if the Strait was not reopened by his deadline; the ceasefire announced April 7 temporarily shelved the threat, but the Islamabad collapse and Monday’s blockade have returned the escalation question to the center of the conflict. Legal experts told PBS that targeting power plants and bridges serving civilian populations constitutes “collective punishment” and an “indiscriminate attack” under the laws of war, which are binding on US military personnel regardless of presidential direction; Iran’s military command warned in response that any strikes on civilian targets would produce “much more devastating and widespread” retaliation. Iran’s water desalination infrastructure is not a theoretical target: Kuwait reported that Iranian drone attacks put one of its own water desalination stations offline during the conflict, demonstrating that both sides have already struck civilian-adjacent infrastructure and that the escalation risk runs in both directions. As CNBC reported Monday, the blockade itself has already reignited market fears beyond just the oil price reaction, with analysts warning that Hormuz closure combined with infrastructure strikes could send Brent crude toward $150 per barrel. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters the administration “will always act within the confines of the law,” without addressi

Wall Street says buy Strategy while getting paid to fund its Bitcoin binge
Banks bullish on Strategy also profit from the stock sales funding its Bitcoin accumulation.
Wall Street remains deeply bullish on Strategy, even as many of the same banks benefit from the stock sales, helping fund its Bitcoin buying spree. That overlap does not prove misconduct, but it does raise a harder question about whether the market’s loudest optimism is being reinforced by the fees attached to it.

Strategy is one of the most aggressively promoted stocks on Wall Street, with a consensus “Strong Buy” rating and an average analyst price target that implies a 155% upside from recent prices.

That's nearly double the implied upside for any other large-cap name in America. It's also, by a wide margin, the single largest issuer of new stock on any US exchange, having raised an estimated $50 billion in roughly 18 months and paid around $274 million in fees along the way.

But the companies setting and publishing those bullish targets, and the companies profiting from that issuance pipeline overlap so much that it threatens to turn into a very serious conflict of interest.

The question we have to ask isn't whether anyone is breaking the law, because nobody is, at least for now. It's whether the incentive structure around Strategy has become so tightly wound that Wall Street's enthusiasm and Wall Street's compensation have merged into a single, very bullish, but unjustified emotion.

Gold has long been touted as a hedge asset, a valuable investment that helps safeguard one's interests in tough economic times. However, the recent US-Iran war has helped present a rather opposite stance, where the world witnessed a rapid gold selloff, a scenario that otherwise should have favored gold's spike. Moreover, JP Morgan's strategist has shared a compelling new analysis, categorizing gold as an investment asset rather than a hedge one. Is gold shedding its age of personality?

Hui went ahead to label gold as a lucrative investment asset rather than a hedge, stating how it did not "work as a hedge against geopolitics." Hui later shared how the yellow metal has not been consistent during the present war narratives, presenting it in a new light. "We've been arguing for quite some time that gold is not a very good hedge against anything. If you look at its correlation with equities or risk assets, it's not very consistent." Hui later sharedGold price has fluctuated throughout the US-Iran war dynamics, a scenario that should have favored gold prospects.
