ON 14 JULY, ACCORDING TO CNN, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TRUMP, ON MONDAY, DESCRIBED THE RESUMPTION OF UNITED STATES BOMBING OPERATIONS AGAINST IRAN AS A “MILITARY CONFLICT”, DENYING THAT IT MARKED A NEW, LONG-TERM PHASE IN THE FIGHTING, BUT THAT HIS REFUSAL INDICATED HOW LONG THE CONFLICT WOULD LAST. TRUMP SAID: “WE MUST DO WHAT WE DO NOW. WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED THEIR CAPABILITIES, BUT THEY WILL RESIST FOR SOME TIME.” DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CURRENT FIGHTING IS WELL BEYOND THE FOUR TO SIX-WEEK OPERATIONAL TIMETABLE ORIGINALLY SET BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, TRUMP HAS DILUTED THE POTENTIALLY INDEFINITE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT. “WE FOUGHT IN VIETNAM FOR 19 YEARS. WE'VE ONLY BEEN HERE FOUR MONTHS, SO I THINK WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK."

ON 14 JULY, ACCORDING TO CNN, TRUMP HAD INDICATED THAT THE UNITED STATES MIGHT IMPOSE A 20 PER CENT SAFETY TOLL ON SHIPS PASSING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. BUT JUST LAST MONTH, UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF STATE RUBIO CLAIMED THAT IT WAS “UNWORKABLE” TO CHARGE FEES FOR THIS CRITICAL ROUTE. DURING A VISIT TO THE THREE GULF STATES LATE IN JUNE, RUBIO REPEATEDLY STATED THAT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS AN INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY AND THAT NO FEES SHOULD BE CHARGED TO SHIPS. HE SAID: “WHETHER YOU CALL IT A FEE, A TOLL OR A DONATION, IT IS A TOLL IF YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PASS.” HE ALSO QUESTIONED HOW THE FEE MECHANISM WAS IMPLEMENTED: “WHAT IF A SHIP REFUSES TO PAY? IT'S NOT LIKE A ROAD CHARGE. IT'S NOT JUST A TICKET. IF YOU FIRE ON A SHIP AND SINK IT, THE OTHER SHIPS WILL NOT DARE TO CROSS AGAIN. SUCH A MECHANISM WOULD NOT ONLY BE ILL-ADVISED, BUT WOULD NEVER BE FEASIBLE.” PREVIOUSLY, IRAN INDICATED THAT IT WOULD NOT CHARGE A “TRANSIT FEE” FOR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, BUT STATED THAT IT MIGHT CHARGE A FEE FOR RELATED SERVICES PROVIDED。

The British Treasury reported that Ripple was seen as a model for tokenization, promoting buy-back and public debt uplink

On 14 July, a wholesale digital market report supported by the British Treasury listed Ripple as one of the core participants, planning to transfer the buy-back agreement (repo), the British Treasury debt (gilts) and the Fund from the regulatory sandbox to the real market within the next 12 months, with an estimated additional Pound33 billion in output and Pound14 billion in tax revenue per year for the British economy over a decade. The report proposes a hybrid structure for a licensed network of institutions over the public chain, with the example of the BlackRock International Monetary Fund (BUIDL) as an example, while noting that the final settlement risk arising from the reorganization of the public chain remains to be addressed. The report also refers to the Ripple takeover of Hidden Road (renamed Ripple Prime) and the use of the Ripple block chain by Santander UK for cross-border payments, which is believed to be in decline in traditional financial and encryption institutions。

Dragonfly Partner: DeFi's “Hackends of the Sun” did not materialize, and the amount stolen in 2026 was about $1.89 billion a year. Dollar

On 14 July, Dragonfly Partner Haseeb responded to a previous pessimistic view of DeFi security by Manuel Aráoz, co-founder of OpenZeppelin, arguing that DeFi did not appear as the intended “end of the hacker” as the GLM 5.2, Fable and GPT 5.6 models were online and actually used by the attackers. The graph data show that the annualized value of DeFi stolen in 2026 at the current year's rate of data and operations was approximately $1.89 billion, with the cumulative amount stolen during the year being approximately $986 million, below 2025 levels and still within historical boundaries. According to Haseeb, the more profound change at the moment is that the number of hacker attacks has increased, but the scale of single attacks has decreased more rapidly, with more of the attackers targeting small agreements and abandoned projects, while larger agreements have been strengthened with more security, so that overall financial security has not significantly deteriorated。

Trump said, “We will destroy Mount Al-Qaeda and tell the Iranians to be ready.” He stated that the United States had been closely monitoring the facility, “there was currently no activity there. Their nuclear programme is not progressing well. Every time we find anything, we blow it up. We'll probably hit the mountain soon." It is understood that Mount Al-Nattanz, located near Iran's uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, has two deep underground tunnels and is considered to be one of Iran's most robust underground nuclear facilities and may even be able to withstand an attack by the United States of America's most active drilling bomb. Trump also reiterated that the United States will continue to hit Iran hard tonight and tomorrow, saying, “We will hit them hard tonight and they will hit them hard tomorrow, and they have nothing to do with it”。
