Threats and intimidation will only strengthen Irans unity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to everyone except those who violate Iranian territory. Iran will resolutely confront these insane threats on the battlefield."On March 22, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter defended the U.S. and Israels attacks on Iranian infrastructure, claiming that "sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate." This came shortly after Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to destroy its power plants. Bessenter defended Trumps remarks, saying it was "the only language the Iranians understand." Bessenter also addressed Kharg Island, a key hub for Iranian oil production, claiming that "all options are being considered," including sending U.S. troops to control the island. Bessenter further defended the decision to ease some sanctions on Iran, claiming it was a "soft approach" to the Iranians—using their own oil to retaliate against them.

Intel Reduces Employee And Executive Salaries As The PC Market Declines

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) announced on Tuesday that it has significantly reduced employee and management compensation, one week after issuing a lower-than-anticipated sales estimate due to a loss of market share to competitors and a decline in the PC market.


The cutbacks will range from 5% of base salary for mid-level staff to as much as 25% for the company's chief executive, Pat Gelsinger, according to an unnamed source with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly.


Addy Burr, a spokesperson for Intel, said in a statement that the "changes are intended to have a greater impact on our executive population and will assist support investments and the overall workforce."


Intel reported this week that its profit margins were plummeting as the PC industry has cooled following many years of expansion during the epidemic.


Gelsinger also acknowledged that Intel had "stumbled" and lost market share to competitors like Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) Inc, which on Tuesday posted quarterly sales that topped Wall Street's estimates.


In addition to 5% cutbacks for mid-level staff, vice president level individuals would experience 10% reductions, and the company's top executives other than the CEO will receive 15% declines, according to a source familiar with Intel's compensation cuts.


In addition, the company has reduced its 401(k) matching program from 5% to 2.5% and banned merit raises and quarterly performance bonuses, according to the source.


Annual performance bonuses based on Intel's overall financial performance will continue, although the size of these payments has diminished in recent years as the business has lost ground to competitors, the source said.
