Tehran’s demands for a full reopening of Hormuz include the US lifting its naval blockade on Iranian ports, the release of frozen assets and compensation for war damages. It has also called for a permanent end to attacks on groups it backs in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Gaza.


“I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts,” Trump wrote on social media. 

“Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years.”

Shortly after his post, Trump added that Iran should also be held responsible for deaths and damage from conflicts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Gaza, where Tehran-backed militant groups operate.

Stockholmsbörsen går mot en avvaktande öppning på tisdagen. Oljepriset har stabiliserat sig efter måndagens lyft på nästan 7 procent, som kom efter besked om att Iran inte kommer att öppna Hormuzsundet förrän USA uppfyller landets villkor.

”Det är det som är fascinerande med börsen – att den handlas ner ganska kraftigt i samband med oro, men även om oron inte helt släpper kan den sedan handlas upp och handlas upp ännu mer”, säger Elin Benjaminsson, börsstrateg på Avanza.

Vietnam’s largest conglomerate is embarking on a first-of-a-kind infrastructure project for a domestic private company in the communist state.

Vingroup is laying the groundwork for a high-speed rail line on a site that already has towering apartment blocks and luxury villas constructed by another group subsidia

Resolution 68, last year’s government decree on bolstering the private sector, targets the creation of at least 20 large enterprises capable of participating in global value chains by 2030. 

It elevates the private sector to “the most important driving force of the national economy. 

The aim is to double the number of private sector enterprises to 2mn by 2030.

Resolution 68 Hö Hö Hö

Resolution 68-NQ/TW is a landmark directive issued by the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) on May 4, 2025, which fundamentally redefines the private sector's role as a "core driver" of the national economy rather than a secondary player.

”Jag hade fel, 'The Odyssey' är en toppenfilm”

Inför biosommaren, långt innan premiären, spådde Kulturnyheternas filmredaktör att Christopher Nolans ”The Odyssey” skulle bli succéregissörens första magplask.

 ”The Odyssey” har sedan överlag fått strålande kritik och dragit fulla hus på biografer världen över och Kulturnyheternas filmredaktör Hannes Fossbo lägger sig platt.

Homeros hjälteepos ”Odysséen” är ett av världslitteraturens mest inflytelserika litterära verk och har i snart 3 000 år gjort sig påmint i kulturen på olika sätt.

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

Cognitive blind spots

Bild
Cognitive blind spots are undermining our ability to see the world as it is, rather than as we would like it to be. At the start of the 21st century, western elites generally assumed that globalisation, democracy and the free market were self-evidently good, and would keep spreading, creating peace. N o longer.  FIS, Swiss Federal Intelligence Service, has published a manual about cognitive blind spots. 18 different cognitive biases that hamper our thinking, such as “group think” (adhering to the cosy assumptions of our tribe), “anchoring” (relying exclusively on whatever information we see first, say on social media),  “confirmation bias” (only seeing data that reinforces pre-existing views),  “mirror imaging” (assuming others think like us),  “absence of evidence” bias (failing to think about the data we lack)  and “survivorship bias” (judging data only with success stories, not failures).
