#Iran issued the most sweeping and unconventional warnings yet designed to trigger a market meltdown.
Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher #Ghalibaf said that #UnitedStates #financial institutions and #investors could be treated as MILITARY targets.
He said financial entities "linked to" funding #US military were “legitimate targets.”
He said #Treasury #bonds were “soaked in Iranians’ blood” and warned investors: “We monitor your portfolios. This is your final notice.”
As the cost of #oil continues to soar, the #Treasury Dept on Friday lifted #sanctions on 140 million barrels of Iranian crude already loaded onto vessels, which the #Trump admin says will help ease prices — but which is also likely to provide revenue for Iran’s #war effort.
The order to “unsanction” the #oil comes as #TrumpsWar in Iran has triggered a global #energy crunch, with the price of oil soaring more than 50% since the #US attacked #Iran late last month.
I remember this game, it’s called “stop hitting yourself”
#Trump admin lifts #sanctions on millions of barrels of #Iran #oil
As oil prices soar, the #Treasury Department has lifted sanctions on Iranian crude already loaded onto vessels — giving Iran’s war effort against the #US a boost.

Il Tempo: A gennaio debito pubblico in crescita
ROMA (ITALPRESS) – A gennaio, secondo i dati della Banca d'Italia, il debito delle amministrazioni pubbliche è aumentato di 16,8 miliardi rispetto al mese precedente, risultando pari a 3.112,3 miliardi. L'incremento riflette la crescita delle disponibilità liquide del Tesoro (9,5 miliardi, a 61,9) e il fabbisogno delle amministrazioni pubbliche (8 miliardi), mentre l'effetto degli scarti e dei premi all'emissione e al rimborso, della rivalutazione dei titoli indicizzati all'inflazione e della variazione dei tassi di cambio ha operato in senso opposto (0,8 miliardi). Con riferimento alla ripartizione per sottosettori, l'aumento del debito è imputabile a quello delle amministrazioni centrali (16,6 miliardi) e a quello delle amministrazioni locali (0,2 miliardi). Il debito degli enti di previdenza è rimasto pressochè invariato. La vita media residua è rimasta stabile a 7,9 anni. La quota del debito detenuto dalla Banca d'Italia ha continuato a diminuire, collocandosi al 18,3% (dal 18,5% del mese precedente). A dicembre la quota detenuta dai non residenti era aumentata al 34,4% (dal 34,3% del mese precedente) mentre quella detenuta dagli altri residenti (principalmente famiglie e imprese non finanziarie) era diminuita al 14,4% (dal 14,5%).(ITALPRESS).-Foto: Ipa Agency-
Public debt increased in January.
ROME (ITALPRESS) – In January, according to data from the Bank of Italy, the debt of public administrations increased by 16.8 billion euros compared to the previous month, totaling 3112.3 billion. The increase reflects the growth of Treasury liquid funds (9.5 billion, at 61.9) and the needs of public administrations (8 billion), while the effects of redemptions and issuance premiums, the revaluation of inflation-indexed bonds, and exchange rate variations worked in the opposite direction (0.8 billion). With reference to sector breakdowns, the increase in debt is attributable to that of central administrations (16.6 billion) and that of local administrations (0.2 billion). The debt of pension funds remained almost unchanged. The average remaining life remained stable at 7.9 years. The share of debt held by the Bank of Italy continued to decrease, standing at 18.3% (from 18.5% in the previous month). In December, the share held by non-residents increased to 34.4% (from 34.3% in the previous month) while that held by other residents (primarily families and non-financial businesses) decreased to 14.4% (from 14.5%).(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Ipa Agency
