NEW YORK, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said he remained optimistic that inflation pressures are on track to ease gradually, but if they don't the U.S. central bank will not hesitate to respond with rate hikes to ensure price pressures return to target.

BREAKING: President Trump says he has decided to cancel the attack on Iran:
‘The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.
Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.
Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.’

Iranian official: ‘Iran has not requested Trump not to attack’
@Middle_East_Spectator
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:
– Iran is close to reaching an understanding with Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz.
– Reaching an understanding does not mean the Strait will be opened; it will remain closed until we deem it appropriate.
– Iran did not request anything from the United States, and Trump backed down due to Iran’s military strength.
– If the U.S. dares to commit a foolish act of aggression, our crushing response will affect the entire region.

a US withdrawal would not be a US defeat... it would be a US victory...against the evil forces inside the US that have dragged the country into an unnecessary war that have costed human lives and economic infrastructure all over the region.. to please bloodthirsty Israeli supporters and the usual industrial-military warmongers that need to fabricate wars to sell their weapons, make their billions and use to those billions to enrich politicians.

You can say a defeat in the old sense of bases and "boots on the ground" and perhaps you are meant to see it that way. The is nothing that a great part of the world enjoys more than a good old fashioned US defeat.
What you are increasingly seeing is a strategic pivot.
Certainly close in asymmetric war means that maintaining these bases is not worth the effort. But "stand off" capability remains and will be used.
Let's see what happens with GCC arms sales and how Israel is positioned.
Oil flows are already being rejiggered and of course the overwhelming ME energy clients are Asian.
The game is the same the field and the rules are changing.

Iran war looks increasingly directed to a US defeat. Hormuz under some degree of internationally recognized Iranian control. A big retreat from the pre-war status.
And Iran able to resume exports and access to cash to rebuild the
“Anihilation”. |

Zelensky advierte que los ataques de Rusia están superando a las defensas aéreas: hay 9 muertos
CNN
—
El presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, reiteró el pedido de ayuda a Occidente para reforzar las defensas aéreas tras el letal ataque ruso durante la madrugada, horas después de que el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, se retractara de su promesa pública de permitir a Ucrania fabricar interceptores Patriot.
Este ataque es el segundo gran asalto aéreo ruso en dos días, con el que el Kremlin aparentemente busca exponer la escasez de sistemas de defensa clave en Kyiv, mientras lucha por avanzar a lo largo de la vasta línea del frente.
Al menos nueve personas murieron y 30 resultaron heridas en el último ataque contra Ucrania, entre ellas cuatro niños. Hubo bombardeos dirigidos contra la capital, Kyiv, y las regiones circundantes, según el alcalde de la ciudad, Vitali Klitschko.
Solo uno de los 27 misiles balísticos lanzados por Rusia fue derribado.
El presidente de Ucrania ha solicitado en repetidas ocasiones a las naciones occidentales que le proporcionen los sistemas de defensa aérea que tanto necesita para proteger las ciudades y la infraestructura crítica del país de los ataques aéreos. Ucrania se enfrenta a una escasez de interceptores Patriot de fabricación estadounidense, el único sistema de defensa capaz de derribar ciertos misiles balísticos avanzados.
Sin embargo, la situación se ha vuelto más desesperada en las últimas semanas, con bombardeos masivos rusos que han cobrado la vida de civiles. A principios de esta semana, las autoridades ucranianas informaron que un misil balístico impactó contra una casa en la aldea rural de Radushne, en la región de Dnipro, matando al menos a seis miembros de una familia, entre ellos cuatro niños.
Tras los ataques nocturnos de este sábado, Zelensky escribió en Telegram: “Carecemos de misiles para los sistemas Patriot. Y es precisamente esta escasez de interceptores antibalísticos lo que anima a Rusia a llevar a cabo ataques tan letales”.
El viernes, Trump dijo que dudaba en permitir que Ucrania construyera sus propios interceptores de misiles Patriot, una idea que anunció por primera vez al margen de una cumbre de la OTAN en Turquía el mes pasado.
“Lo estamos considerando, pero es difícil ceder ese tipo de tecnología”, dijo Trump durante una reunión de gabinete en Camp David. “Tenemos que ser muy cuidadosos”.
Expresó especial preocupación por el riesgo de que Ucrania pudiera usar algún día los interceptores de misiles Patriot contra Estados Unidos, aunque reconoció que es improbable que esto ocurra.
Estas deliberaciones marcan un giro respecto a principios de mes, cuando Trump sugirió durante la cumbre de la OTAN que ayudaría a Ucrania en su lucha contra Rusia permitiéndoles construir los sistemas Patriot.
