July 04, 2026 Presented by Behind The Markets Dear Reader, There's a strategy behind the Iran war. I know because I've seen the evidence firsthand. On March 2nd — three days after the first missiles hit Iran — I sat across from two United States Congressmen in back-to-back private meetings. Those meetings pointed me toward something I spent weeks verifying. The real purpose behind the strikes. The real objective. And the single company at the dead center of all of it. I followed the trail. Verified every piece. And what I found confirms it: This isn't random. It's a calculated Two-Front Economic War. Click here to see the strategy behind the Iran war — and the company at the center of it. The sooner you understand what's really happening… The better positioned you'll be before August 12th.

To your future, Dylan Jovine Founder, Behind the Markets     Exclusive Headlines Saudi Arabia Blocked a U.S. Military Operation to Open Hormuz The biggest rift in years between Washington and Riyadh is now public. When the U.S. launched Project Freedom in early May to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia blocked access to its bases and airspace, forcing the operation to abort. The White House responded by threatening to withhold Patriot interceptor deliveries. Saudi Arabia backed down, but the relationship has not recovered. The backstory runs deeper than a single incident. Saudi Arabia lobbied against the Iran war before it started, warning the U.S. that any attempt to pressure the Iranian regime would close Hormuz and destabilize the region. When the U.S. launched Epic Fury alongside Israel anyway, the kingdom allowed use of its bases but never fully committed. Saudi Arabia then began quietly seeking de-escalation, reaching out to Iran through Pakistani coordination and pressing the U.S. to drop the port blockade. The diplomatic signals since have been pointed. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman skipped the G7 summit in France while the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt attended. Secretary of State Rubio visited the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain last week but not Saudi Arabia. Riyadh interpreted the omission as a deliberate snub. The U.S. is now considering reducing its military presence in Saudi Arabia and consolidating forces in countries more supportive during the war, including Israel and Jordan. That planning is described as early stage and not yet decided, but it represents a meaningful potential restructuring of the Gulf security architecture the U.S. has maintained since 1945. Saudi Arabia's calculation appears to be that its Pakistani-mediated understanding with Iran has preserved its energy infrastructure from Iranian attack, reducing its dependence on U.S. security guarantees and giving it more room to distance itself from Washington's regional strategy. Technical Talks in Doha, But the Hard Questions Remain The U.S. and Iran held indirect technical talks in Doha Wednesday, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan. The sessions focused on two issues Iran has prioritized: management of the Strait of Hormuz and release of $6 billion in frozen assets. The U.S. priority is ensuring free traffic flow through the strait. The talks build on the 14-point interim accord signed last month but come amid continued disagreement over what that accord actually means. Both sides have traded strikes over the past week. Iran has publicly insisted on international recognition of its control over the strait and its right to levy fees on ships, a position the U.S. has flatly rejected. A foreign container ship ran aground Wednesday in shallow waters outside the Iranian-designated shipping route, illustrating how patchy the reopening remains. Trump said Wednesday that "denuclearization of Iran is moving along well," a characterization that does not match what the Doha talks appear to actually be covering. Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff met Qatar's prime minister and emir to lay groundwork but are not attending the technical sessions directly. Oil reached its lowest level since the day before the war began, just under $69 per barrel. The market is pricing a peace deal while the actual negotiations remain unresolved on every major issue. The Lebanon track runs parallel and remains complicated. A framework security deal between Israel and Lebanon's government has been rejected by Hezbollah. Israel has not pulled out of Lebanon's south, a condition Iran has linked to any final agreement. Trump faces domestic pressure to resolve the conflict before November midterms. Iran's leadership faces domestic anger over economic destruction. Neither side has strong incentive to walk away, and neither has yet agreed on what a final deal looks like.
