Khamenei’s coffin being transported from Iraq to Iran
The coffin of the slain supreme leader is being transported from Iraq’s Najaf to Iran’s Mashhad before his burial today, according to the Mehr News Agency.
The transfer is the last of the funeral ceremonies that have continued for six days across Iran and Iraq, including in the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.
Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani, the head of Khamenei’s office, said the late leader had requested to be buried in Mashhad, near the shrine of Imam Reza. |

'He doesn’t care about anyone': MAGA fans who lost billions buying Trump stocks and crypto now believe they were conned
Donald Trump and his family generated at least $2.2 billion in income last year (1), which is nearly four times more than he reported in 2024. Much of that money came from his supporters who invested in his businesses, such as Trump Media and Technology Group, or bought his $TRUMP meme coin.
Their fortunes, however, didn't fare nearly as well. In fact, Trump's supporters are reportedly down an estimated $7 billion after investing in the president's business ventures.
Trump Media shares have lost 56% of their value in the past year (2) , while the Trump coin's value also tumbled about 81% in that time (3). Many of the retail investors who sunk their savings into those ventures — often as a sign of loyalty to Trump — have seen the money vanish right as economic volatility began to spike. And they're not happy with Trump, or the members of his inner circle.
"We're just poor cattle to them," Chad Nedohin, who was once the unofficial captain of Trump Media's shareholders, told Forbes (4). "He doesn't care about anyone."
Core MAGA to poor MAGA
Nedohin is one of many investors who are vocally criticizing Trump and his ventures. Another, Vadim Fistikan, invested $205,000 in Trump Media in the days, weeks and months after it went public via SPAC (5). He invested the money he and his family had planned to use to buy a waterfront property in Florida.
Today, that investment is worth just $30,000. When he voiced his frustrations on Truth Social, Fistikan (a three-time Trump voter) was lambasted by Trump supporters on the social media site.
"I'm like, 'Hey, this is a scam,'" he posted, according to Forbes. "And a lot of people were like, 'No, you're just a Trump hater.' I'm like, 'No. I was on board since day one. … I'm now broke. Pretty much my whole life savings [was] in this one stock. This is the greatest theft, con job he has ever done."
Nick Pinto didn't invest in Trump Media, but when he saw Trump had launched a meme coin in January 2025, he quickly invested $7,000. He later upped that investment to $480,000 so that he could gain entry to a dinner at Trump's Virginia club.
A friend later convinced him to sell most of his position in the Trump coin, but Pinto still suffered losses of $250,000.
"This is something that the Trump family kind of came up with out of the blue," Pinto told Forbes, referring to the advice that his friend, a fellow Trump investor, shared with him. "And there's not really a way for us to predict the future of the coin or what their plans for it are."
New ventures
While the meme coin and Trump Media stock languish (and some investors have trouble finding buyers for their tokens or shares), the Trump family is investing in new ventures.
World Liberty Financial is another cryptocurrency fund which earned Trump $799 million last year, in part from when the government of the United Arab Emirates quietly purchased a stake in the company (6).
It also has released the $WLFI coin, of which the Trump family received a 75% cut of all sales of that cryptocurrency (7). Investors? They didn't do so well: $WLFI is down 74% in the past year and currently trades for just six cents per coin (8).

Sánchez desvela una charla “muy cordial” con Trump, sobre fútbol y golf, pese a sus amenazas
“He tenido ocasión de poder intercambiar una charla informal con el presidente de Estados Unidos”, ha asegurado Sánchez este miércoles, al término de la cumbre. “Hemos hablado de fútbol, del Mundial en Estados Unidos, y ha sido una charla coloquial en la que en absoluto ha habido ningún tipo de tirantez, al contrario, todo han sido buenas palabras y amabilidad”, ha resaltado.

| Desde Ankara, la delegación española ha respondido inmediatamente que recibe con “tranquilidad y normalidad” el último ataque de Trump. Fuentes de Moncloa insisten en que España “mantiene una magnífica relación social, cultural y económica con EE.UU. y no es nuestra intención que eso cambie”, pero eso sí, recuerda a Trump que su país tiene superávit comercial con España, que las competencias de comercio las tiene exclusivamente la Comisión Europea —como ha recordado en varias ocasiones el Ejecutivo comunitario— y que “los vínculos económicos los tejen las empresas privadas, no los gobiernos”. |

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha vuelto a la carga contra España. En declaraciones al llegar a la cumbre de la OTAN en Ankara junto al secretario general de la OTAN, Mark Rutte, el republicano se ha ensañado con España al repasar las afrentas de los aliados contra Estados Unidos al no secundarle en su ofensiva contra Irán. El magnate ha sido especialmente duro: ha asegurado que no ha hablado con Madrid sobre Irán porque es “una causa perdida”, “mala gente” y un “terrible” aliado de la OTAN y ha ordenado cortar “todo el comercio y las visitas” con España, pese a que se trata de una competencia de la Comisión Europea.
“Ya no queremos hacer ningún tipo de negocio con España. Me gustaría que se acabara con eso. España es un socio pésimo en la OTAN. No participan, no pagan. No quiero tener nada que ver con España. Cortad todo el comercio con España, por favor, incluyendo las visitas”, ha asegurado Trump, sentado junto a Rutte en el complejo presidencial de Ankara, donde se celebra la cumbre.

Danaos Corporation (NYSE: DAC) is executing a pivot from a pure-play containership lessor into an architect of the transpacific "energy bridge" from North America to Japan.
Backed by an unprecedented container boom—yielding a $4.1 billion multi-year charter backlog and leaving 79 of its 86 vessels completely debt-free—CEO Dr. John Coustas is utilizing a $1.25 billion liquidity to capture long-term, secular macro trends.
The strategy anchors on a $50 million development equity investment in the Alaska LNG project, positioning Danaos as the preferred operator for at least six upcoming LNG carriers.
By bypassing the congested, drought-vulnerable Panama Canal, the Pacific-facing Alaska corridor slashes voyage times to Japan to just 7–9 days.
This secure, non-contiguous supply chain provides vital energy security for Tokyo as Middle Eastern geopolitical instability pushes regional war risk insurance premiums to an extreme 2.8%. |

Mitch McConnell, Joe Biden and the growing epidemic of politicians hiding health problems
There was a national reckoning after the 2024 presidential campaign about federal officials — Joe Biden and his White House, specifically — hiding important health information from the public.
But the hiding hasn’t stopped. If anything, it appears to be getting worse.
Increasingly, some very high-profile public officials seem to have concluded that constituents and the broader public simply aren’t entitled to basic information explaining lengthy absences from their jobs. And their staffs are enabling them.
Republican Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey recently returned to the House after spending more than 100 days away with no explanation at the time, ultimately citing depression. Now, questions are building about the also-mysterious and now-weekslong absence of GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
The former Senate majority leader has been missing from the chamber since being hospitalized on June 14. But his office has repeatedly declined to say why he was hospitalized, including when reached by CNN on Tuesday. |

Thrilled to announce American Bitcoin crossing the 8,000 BTC mark! 🇺🇸
Even with crypto market volatility, I want to reiterate how we continue to differentiate ourselves, mining at a 52% profit margin in Q1 and continually adding to our treasury, all while maintaining one of the lowest SG&A ratios in the industry
The stacking continues. |

While Samsung's chip division is running 50% margins selling $145 LPDDR5X modules to data centers, those identical high prices are actively cannibalizing the rest of the global tech economy. High memory costs are eating the margins of server builders, smartphone divisions, and PC manufacturers.
The market is realizing that memory has become an economic tax on the rest of the tech ecosystem—sparking a broader sector rotation out of hardware and semiconductor equipment suppliers (like Applied Materials and SK Hynix, which both plummeted alongside Samsung.

| Early reports from Iranian state-backed news outlets are now saying that Iran has targeted Bahrain, specifically the U.S. Fifth Fleet Headquarters there, in retaliation for U.S. retaliatory strikes on key military infrastructure across Southern Iran. |

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed a new round of offensive strikes against Iran, July 7, hitting over 80 targets with precision munitions as an immediate response to Iran's latest attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. forces struck Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities, and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats in and near the strait to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international commerce flowing through the international trade corridor.
Iran recently attacked three commercial vessels transiting the strait including Marshall Islands-flagged M/T Al Rekayyat, Saudi Arabia-flagged M/T Wedyan, and Liberian-flagged M/T Cyprus Prosperity. The unwarranted aggression by Iranian forces is a clear and dangerous violation of the ceasefire and undermines freedom of navigation.
CENTCOM forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable when the agreement is not adhered to or obeyed. |
