Tom Lee: Ether is at a turning point in the Amazon and Ingweida style, with $12,000 projected

Mr. Tom Lee, President of Bitmine, said that ETH was at a major turning point similar to that of Amazon and Inweida before the market boom. He noted that ETH was currently “seriously underestimated” because retail investors had not yet taken into account ongoing business and artificial intelligence-related developments. Lee predicts that ETH may reach $2,200 in August and that it may eventually rise to $12,000 after a bitcoin of $250,000. The current ETH transaction price is $1844, which is 46.97 per cent lower than last year and 63 per cent below its historical high of $4953 in August 2025。

Adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran: If the United States forces continue to operate, Iran may move to full offensive phase

On 18 July, the adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader, Rezai, stated that if the United States continued to attack for the next two or three days, Iran would end its previous deterrence and reciprocal counter-attack tactics and move to the “full offensive and destruction” phase, with the possibility of direct attacks on military bases and personnel outside the United States. He claimed that Iran's restraint had previously been intended to avoid spillovers of regional conflict, but that the United States' “judgment” might have contributed to the escalation of the situation. Rezai also called on countries and governments in the regions of Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and others to stop the expansion of the United States and Israel, and called the US strategy of “war in parallel with negotiations” a failure, and Iran will intensify its response in the coming days。

Military Adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran: the Mehdi Memorandum of Understanding is dead

On 18 July, at local time, Mohsen Rezai, the military adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran, stated that the United States had violated the terms of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iraq, which was now in existence. Rezai also indicated that the United States military was launching a large-scale attack on infrastructure in southern Iran through a hybrid war. With renewed attacks by United States forces, Iran has expanded the scope of its war, as previously warned. Rezai said that if the United States continued its attacks in the coming days, the Iranian armed forces would move beyond the current phase of “deterrence and retaliation” to the phase of “comprehensive attack and destruction”. At that time, bases and soldiers outside United States borders will be directly targeted. The United States should know that its consumption strategy of “bring-and-talk” is deadlocked. In the coming days, the Iranian attacks will be even more intense. (In Russian)
