The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament said that he would not surrender and that if the United States were to “underbelief” it would be fully defensive

On 11 July, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Kalibaf, stated that Iran had never sought war but would never yield to external pressure. According to Kalibaf, prior to the recent outbreak of conflict, the United States, Israel and NATO believed that Iran could be forced to surrender within days, but ultimately failed to achieve its goal. He stated that the United States had sought a ceasefire because of economic, political and public pressure. He emphasized that Iran did not trust the United States and that it was only when it was ready for war that it was eligible to negotiate with the United States. If the United States “renounces the memorandum of understanding between the two sides”, Iran will be ready for “full defence” and will firmly defend its national interests. Kalibaf said that the international community wanted an end to the war, but anyone should know that the conflict would not end with Iran ' s surrender。

United States dollars and silver: Investors raise their stakes on the British Central Bank interest rate because the UK is sensitive to oil prices

On 10 July, after a new wave of tension in the United States and Iraq led to an increase in oil prices, investors this week raised expectations of a British Central Bank interest rate hike in 2026. In a report, American bank strategists stated that the United Kingdom remained highly sensitive to global oil price shocks, which led investors to re-pricing interest rate expectations. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group, the current market reflects expectations for a total of 27 basis points for the British Central Bank this year, up from 20 basis points a week ago.

Mask: Humans will be sent to Mars in five years to build urban orbital data centres on the Moon called "Star Brain"

On 10 July, according to Red Star News, Mask said on personal social media that “as long as we achieve our goals, SpaceX's value will outweigh the total value of everything else on Earth”. Just two days ago, in a podcast show, Mask revealed that SpaceX would be on the moon in the next two to three years, that the first humans would be on Mars in the next five years, that a “functional and self-sufficient” city would be built on the surface of the moon in 10 to 12 years, and that thousands of people would land on Mars. Turning to the vision of the future, Mask stated that the long-term goal of the future was to make space travel work for the general public and to make the dream a reality for anyone who wanted to go to the Moon or Mars. While the size of the satellite has expanded, SpaceX has launched a plan to transfer computing capabilities outside the Earth. Mask has introduced the concept of an orbital data centre network of millions of satellites, recently named the “Star Brain”. SpaceX describes this orbital data centre as “the most effective way to meet the surge in artificial intelligence computing power needs”. “The way to expand computing capabilities without taking over the planet's resources is in space. In this way, there will be no need to occupy the Earth's energy, water and land, and you can do it in space.”
