Iran says America's global hegemony has collapsed as the US-Israeli war reshapes the world order with stalled diplomacy and deepening tensions. According to multiple outlets a drone strike just sparked a fire at the UAE's sole nuclear power plant... no injuries or radiation leak reported but the incident underscores how tenuous the Iran ceasefire remains. In the Asian market traders are watching President Trump's latest warning on Truth Social... a ticking clock for Iran to meet strict US demands including handing over four hundred kilograms of uranium and limiting its nuclear program or face serious consequences. Bitcoin is trading at seventy eight thousand and twenty one dollars down a tenth of a percent over the past twenty four hours while risk-off flows from the Middle East standoff keep pressure on crypto and the VIX sits at eighteen point four three. SPX is trading at seven thousand four hundred and eight point five zero unchanged on the session as options traders brace for any escalation that could widen volatility into Monday's open.
