BREAKING: Jared Kushner’s proposed $5 billion luxury resort project in Albania appears to have effectively collapsed, according to the Wall Street Journal, amid a controversial land deal, intense local opposition, and separate allegations from Iranian officials. Kushner’s investment group reportedly paid $125 million in April to Albanian businessman Artur Shehu for land on the Zvernec peninsula. Two months later, Albanian prosecutors charged Shehu with money laundering and cocaine trafficking, alleging that he used forged Ottoman-era documents to obtain the land that was subsequently sold to Kushner’s group, according to the WSJ. cc: .@MeidasTouch

BREAKING: An Iranian assassination threat reportedly triggered a secret extraction of President Trump from Turkey last month, with the White House using a highly unusual decoy operation to conceal his movements, per WaPo. After Trump publicly boarded the legacy Air Force One in Ankara on July 8 following the NATO summit, he and several aides reportedly exited through a far-side door into a hydraulically lifted airport catering truck. The truck then transported them directly to a U.S. Air Force C-32A, which carried Trump to Britain under the call sign “Reach 18.” Meanwhile, the legacy Air Force One, still carrying dozens of journalists and White House staff who believed Trump was onboard, departed separately under the presidential aircraft call sign, effectively serving as a decoy. Journalists were reportedly instructed to keep their window shades closed. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also boarded the C-32A separately and flew with Trump to Britain.

BREAKING: Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has appointed former IRGC commander-in-chief Mohsen Rezaei as secretary of the country’s Supreme National Security Council. Rezaei is regarded as one of the IRGC’s most hardline figures and is reportedly preparing Iran’s military response to the ongoing U.S. naval blockade. He has previously called the Strait of Hormuz a strategic deterrent more powerful than “dozens of atomic bombs” and warned that Iran could turn the Sea of Oman into a “graveyard” for U.S. forces if the blockade is not lifted.

BREAKING: A source close to Iran’s Ghalibaf says Tehran is expecting a possible surprise Israeli attack, citing signs of heightened Israeli military readiness despite ongoing mediated negotiations. The warning comes after the Israeli military said it was preparing to resume the war independently of the U.S. and reportedly told the CENTCOM commander that it does not require American approval or support. Iran has previously warned that any renewed Israeli attack would trigger direct strikes on Tel Aviv and the Haifa oil refinery.

BREAKING: Donald Trump says he is “low-keying it with Iran,” signaling a shift away from a fresh military offensive as the U.S. lets economic pressure build, according to Axios. • Iran has issued new demands for reopening shipping through the Strait of Hormuz • Trump says the U.S. is “only semi-negotiating” with Tehran • U.S. officials say Trump wants to de-escalate the situation “for now” Markets must be opening in a few hours.

🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump has privately admitted defeat and told senior aides he is willing to end the Iran war without a nuclear deal if Iran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz, according to the WSJ. This represents a major retreat from his initial demand for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and his pledge to “decimate” Iran’s nuclear program. Trump is reportedly laying the groundwork to declare victory simply by securing the reopening of Hormuz. But Iran has now raised the price. Tehran is demanding: • $300 billion in compensation • Release of up to $100 billion in frozen assets • Lifting of all U.S. sanctions • Withdrawal of U.S. troops from the entire region • An end to the naval blockade • Transit fees on every ship passing through the Strait U.S. officials reportedly see Hormuz as the only viable off-ramp for Trump. What Trump hoped would be an exit strategy may now become a major concession to Tehran.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is stepping up pressure on Florida oil magnate and Republican donor Harry Sargeant III to exit his Venezuelan oil investments, Bloomberg reports. The Treasury Department froze assets held by his offshore firm, Bluewave Properties Ltd., while granting him a license to unwind the investments. Treasury alleges the company violated a 2018 executive order targeting entities that supported Venezuela’s former government. Sargeant’s relationship with Washington has since deteriorated, particularly after the Trump administration took control of Venezuela’s oil-rich resources under a new U.S.-backed government. .@Emolclause

.@RonDeSantis on Wealth Taxes, Ken Griffin & Business Migration to Florida: Look, it's one thing to have the view and the policies. The economic worldview has been tried. It has failed. It will not work. Just like the wealth tax they're trying to implement in California, it's already failed because it's caused a massive amount of wealth to flee the state. It hasn't even been enacted, and people are leaving. 🔶This is absolutely True; it never works, and unimaginable amounts of wealth have already left the state: 6–9 confirmed high-profile exits (Page, Brin, Thiel, Kalanick, Zuckerberg) .@chamath stated that $ 700B- $1T in billionaire wealth has already left California. • Govt projected one-time revenue: $100B, but now it will be $40B after departures, according to Hoover Institution Researchers.

BREAKING: House Democrats are preparing an expansive investigative campaign against the Trump administration if they retake the House in November, according to Reuters.

Sources say several major companies have emerged in discussions, including Apple, Alphabet, Palantir, Blackstone, BlackRock and Elon Musk–owned firms such as Tesla. Their potential exposure stems from government contracts, regulatory matters, or dealings with the Trump administration.

.@mayemusk on Young Elon Musk: recognizing his intelligence and being bullied in school: At three years old, I said, "He's a genius." And I took him to school, and they said, "But he only makes it by two days. He's going to be the youngest in the class." I said, "But he's brilliant. He's my genius son." And they rolled their eyes. They said, "Oh, every parent thinks that." So, he was shy, and then but he was bullied a lot because he was the shortest, the youngest, and the smartest. You shouldn't have those three because people beat you up. That's why I wanted him in school, because I'm the only person he talked to. There's nobody else to talk to. And I could tell that he could reason with me.

.@mayemusk on Raising Elon, Kimbal and Tosca and Parenting philosophy: independence, responsibility and Elon’s move to Canada: Do what you want to do and just make yourself. I just wanted them to be independent and make their own decisions. And that's how my parents brought me up: that I can do whatever I want as long as I'm responsible for my choices. Elon wanted to come to America, but I was Canadian-born, so he could get a Canadian passport. So he got the forms for me and filled it out. I got my citizenship back and gave it to the three kids. Three weeks later, they had passports, and three weeks later, Elon left for Canada.
