quote: Mediators from Pakistan, Egypt and Qatar have been discussing a proposal that would clarify disagreements regarding operations of the Strait of Hormuz, the two sources said on Monday night. Iran maintains that the MOU granted it a level of control over the strait, while the US has argued otherwise.
The proposal being advanced by the mediators aims to bridge those gaps so that the US and Iran can begin talks through the MOU, whose 60-day timeline is set to expire next month. | Ahead of Netanyahu-Trump meeting, mediators believe US-Iran breakthrough near

Two items from “News Items” from @EllisItems this AM (https://substack.news-items.com):
“8. A rout in global chipmakers deepened on Tuesday, as fears over the durability of the AI boom intensified ahead of results from some of Silicon Valley’s biggest companies this week. South Korea’s Kospi led declines in Asia, falling more than 10 per cent and prompting a short halt in trading, after investors dumped shares in the country’s two leading memory-chip makers. Shares in SK Hynix fell as much as 10 per cent, while its larger rival, Samsung Electronics, dropped more than 12 per cent. The two companies have tumbled 41 per cent and 34 per cent, respectively, in July so far. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 fell 4.4 per cent, with memory-chip maker Kioxia plunging more than 18 per cent. This month’s sell-off has slashed Kioxia’s share price in half. (Source: http://ft.com)
9. A closely watched gauge of risk in holding the debt of companies at the centre of the AI boom is rising rapidly, underscoring growing jitters over Big Tech’s vast spending on data centres, chips and computer memory. Prices for credit default swaps, popular tools to bet against corporate debt, tied to Oracle, SpaceX, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Broadcom and Nvidia have risen to record highs in recent days, according to LSEG data. The sharp moves echo a sell-off in debt issued by so-called hyperscalers, which are piling hundreds of billions of dollars into developing vast data centres and sophisticated AI models. It comes as investors have grown increasingly worried about the deluge of debt sold by these companies. (Source: https://t.co/i1iKd1P8Ml)”

South Korea’s stock market is getting crushed.
Samsung: -13%
SK Hynix: -15%
The trigger was one report. China started mass producing DUV chip tools.
No earnings miss. No rate shock. Just a headline hitting an index where two names are 60% of the weight.
When both break at once, margin calls do the rest.

quote: Iran's economy is in very bad shape. It was struggling long before the war, and the conflict has only made matters worse. But the key question is: what is the alternative for the current Iranian leadership? Surrender?
Economic pressure alone is not going to convince Tehran to abandon control over the Strait of Hormuz, give up its missile program, or accept limits on uranium enrichment that it views as incompatible with its core interests.
Iran would almost certainly welcome a return to a negotiated framework, provided it reflects Tehran's interpretation of the previous memorandum of understanding and delivers meaningful sanctions relief. But it is highly unlikely to trade what it sees as its strategic assets and ideological principles for economic benefits alone.
That is why economic pressure, by itself, is unlikely to provide Washington with a viable path out of the Iran dilemma. Without a political strategy that addresses Iran's core security calculations, sanctions alone are unlikely to produce the outcome the administration seeks.
More broadly, there is no silver bullet to the Iran challenge. If Tehran feels cornered, its instinct is far more likely to be escalation than capitulation.
In principle, the Iranian leadership does not want an endless war. The broad support that the previous memorandum of understanding received, even among influential figures within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, demonstrated that there is genuine interest in a negotiated outcome.
But from Tehran's perspective, the United States is no longer simply seeking concessions. It is trying to strip Iran of what the regime views as one of its most important strategic achievements from the war. Under those circumstances, the leadership is unlikely to back down. Despite severe economic pressures, it will almost certainly choose to absorb additional costs rather than surrender what it considers core national security interests.
Any U.S. strategy built on the assumption that mounting pressure alone will force Iran to yield risks misunderstanding how Tehran calculates costs, risks, and strategic priorities.
#iran | This debate misses the point.
Of course Iran’s leaders don’t want their country bombed, and of course they want sanctions relief. That was never the question.
The question is whether they are willing to trade what they see as core interests for either. As the past weeks have shown, they are not, and neither more bombing nor more sanctions will change that.
