US Treasury Classifies Hezbollah As Arm Of The IRGC, Not A 'Stand-Alone' Group
The new US Treasury sanctions on Hezbollah unveiled Thursday do more than ever before in 'legally' classifying the Lebanese militant group as essentially an arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Treasury action - which is certainly not the first designation against the group - underscored that it operated in "service to the Iranian regime under the command of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."
A State Department official characterized the re-designation as specifying that Hezbollah is an "Iranian proxy, not a stand-alone operation as implied by the previous designation."
"This action builds on years of US designations that have repeatedly documented the operational, financial, and logistical integration between Hizballah and the IRGC-QF," the official also stated, calling Hezbollah "an extension" of the IRGC's Quds Force.

Saylor's Strategy Treasury Back To Breakeven As Crypto Rips, StanChart Says $100k Bitcoin Year-End Call May Be 'Too Low'
Markets are reminding investors that volatility has two sides in digital assets.
As Standard Chartered's crypto guru, Geoffrey Kendrick, begins his latest note, we've been used to (earlier in 2026) prices falling sharply.
Now we are starting to see (only starting) what happens when prices rise sharply.
So far this week, Kendrick notes that we have mostly seen liquidation of short positions, as chart (source: Coinglass).
In fact if I look at the full history on Coinglass, this is the largest liquidation of BTC shorts ever (data back to June 2021)...
