Unadjusted outstanding commercial paper decreased by $6.9 billion to $1.466 trillion. Some analysts believe that the unadjusted data is more reliable than the seasonally adjusted data because the latter is distorted by the financial crisis.

This blatant contradiction between US words and deeds is the root cause of instability in the region, jeopardizing trade security, the international economy, and the security of all nations, especially the Strait of Hormuz. We warn that if the United States attempts to attack Iran again, it will face a much harsher response than before, the conflict will become more widespread and escalate, and the region will descend into insecurity. In light of the recent US threats to strike Iranian oil infrastructure, we hereby declare: oil and gas exports are either open to everyone or closed to everyone.The U.S. Treasury Department website shows that the United States has imposed sanctions on Union Cuba Petroleo.On June 12, two sources familiar with the matter in the United States revealed that the area lockdown and evacuation at the Pentagon that morning were triggered by a false alarm.
