Last update: 9 hours agoBRICS & Finance: Iran’s central bank chief Abdolnasser Hemmati says Tehran will soon join the BRICS New Development Bank, as BRICS finance ministers discuss linking payment systems and digital currencies to speed cross-border deals. Hormuz & Energy Trade: Trump says the US will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz a “territory of the United States,” while Iran keeps traffic under its own control; meanwhile, two UAE ADNOC-linked tankers were attacked by drones and ship tracking shows traffic still choppy with no clear crude flow. Sanctions & Markets: The US signals “unprecedented” economic isolation measures next week alongside an indefinite naval blockade, pushing oil higher and adding pressure to already fragile consumer sentiment and US stocks after weak retail sales. Shipping Enforcement: CENTCOM says it has redirected 62 vessels, disabled 3, and boarded 2 since the blockade was reimposed—raising war-risk costs and rerouting concerns for global carriers. Cyber Risk: US officials warn of malicious cyber intrusions targeting water infrastructure, with an intelligence note tying attempted reconnaissance to an Iran-linked internet signature.
