The tanker has now continued its voyage.According to the Iranian Students News Agency, Iraqi sources say that several violent explosions and widespread fires have occurred at the Jambul oil field in Iraqs Kirkuk province.According to Irans Fars News Agency, a spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that if Britain supports the United States in a war, it will become a clear and legitimate target.On July 26, when asked whether the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps initiated the war, a spokesperson stated that according to the agreement, passage through the Strait of Hormuz should be conducted in accordance with Iranian regulations. However, the United States, as expected, violated the agreement and announced an alternative passage route. Following this breach, the Revolutionary Guard Corps blocked the passage of vessels and struck those violating the rules. It was hoped that the United States would return to fulfilling its commitments, but this did not happen; instead, it attacked our coast, islands, and some radar facilities. Therefore, this new round of aggression once again originated from the United States. The Revolutionary Guard Corps attacks were intended to force the United States to fulfill its commitments, thus launching Operation Victory 2.

Crypto Prices Slump Over the Weekend

The Bitcoin market dropped over the weekend, matching the stock market's decline.


According to CoinDesk pricing, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, bitcoin, plummeted to $34,656 on Sunday afternoon, down 3.9 percent from Friday evening. Bitcoin fell below $34,000 earlier this afternoon, about half of its all-time high of $67,802 set in November.


Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, was trading at about $2,565 on Sunday afternoon, down 5.1 percent from Friday at 5 p.m. EDT.


Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are notorious for their wild price volatility. 


For years, individual investors dominated the market, but institutional investors, such as hedge funds and money managers, have begun to take control.


The market has become more aligned with regular markets as more professional investors trade crypto. Many institutional investors that acquire cryptocurrencies see them as high-risk investments, akin to equities in the technology sector. During periods of market turmoil, investors prefer to flee to safer areas.


Last week, the stock market fell the day after the Federal Reserve issued a half-point rate hike, the largest since 2000, to combat inflation. Additional rate hikes are possible this summer, according to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. 


Some of the central bank's $9 trillion asset portfolio is also being unwound.


The Nasdaq Composite, which is heavily weighted in technology, fell to a 52-week low of 12144.66 on Friday. It is down 22% so far this year.


For most of 2022, cryptocurrency prices remained flat as investors braced for higher interest rates. According to CoinMarketCap, the crypto market was busy over the weekend, with $112 billion in market volume in a 24-hour period. The total value of the cryptocurrency market is currently $1.59 trillion.
