Turkey Thinks Israel Fabricated Trump Air Force One Assassination Plot
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
Turkish officials suspect that an Israeli intelligence report about an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara last month was a ruse designed to derail diplomacy between the US and Iran, Middle East Eye reported on Tuesday.
The Washington Post first reported on Monday that the US thought there was a credible enough threat against Trump that he secretly swapped planes when he departed Turkey. The president flew into Ankara on a new version of Air Force One donated by Qatar, but made a public show of departing on the older Air Force One, saying he was doing so for "old time's sake."

Iran Rejects US Pressure, Enters 'Survival Economy' As Mediators Cite 'Absolutely No Progress'
It has become beyond obvious that there is no broader peace process and that things are in a stalemated situation amid what's broadly seen as a Washington retreat from military confrontation, leaving Iran to press its own vision of management over the Strait of Hormuz with Oman.
While President Trump has settled into a waiting game which once again bets on sanctions and economic warfare to eventually force Tehran to bend, Iranian military leaders are declaring that "victory is on our side".

The Wall Street Journal has noted that the Islamic Republic has entered a 'survival economy' with the country's rulers "taking time-tested steps to keep their chronically battered economy functioning just enough to resist a drawn-out campaign."
There's no doubt that infrastructure along with various key industries and the Iranian currency has been sev...

Rate-Hike Odds Tumble As US Consumer Price Inflation Prints Slowest Since Pre-War
July's ongoing decline in oil prices (before the late July/early August rebound) should support lower prices in today's CPI print (with portfolio management impacts expected to be a bigger upside deal for PCE as stocks soared) but expectations were for an uneventful 0.1% MoM rise in the headline print.
And the print was perfectly in line, rising 0.,1% MoM and 3.4% YoY (down from +3.5% in June) - the lowest since March...

Hannover (www.anleihencheck.de) - Nachdem für den Berichtsmonat Juni ein spürbarer Rückgang gemeldet worden war, zeigt sich bei den US-Konsumentenpreisen im Juli nun eine Veränderungsrate von 0,1% M/M, so die Analysten der Nord LB.
Diese Meldung sei per se erfreulich; vor allem aufgrund des Wiederaufflammens des Konflikts im Persischen Golf hätte es in der Tat deutlich schlimmer kommen können. [mehr]...
