Almost everyone now sees that Trumps claims are completely unfounded. According to reports, the agreement text, drafted as a "reciprocal commitment," is currently in the final stages of Irans domestic ratification process and no final decision has been made. In stark contrast, Trump has raised issues that contradict the terms of the agreement text. At the same time, he claims he will immediately lift the blockade. Trumps distortions of the core content of the agreement include: 1. Trump claims that Iran is obligated to open the Strait of Hormuz without receiving any fees; however, such a clause does not exist in the agreement text. 2. Trump claims that Iran will dismantle or destroy its nuclear materials. Sources emphasize that not only is there no such content in the memorandum of understanding, but Trumps claim is also utter nonsense. Key terms of the agreement that Trump deliberately avoided mentioning: 1. A crucial point that Trump didnt mention at all: the precondition for immediately unfreezing and paying Iran $12 billion in frozen assets. 2. A ceasefire in Lebanon. 3. Iranian officials also emphasized that the final agreement will be based on the principles and "red lines" of the Islamic Republic of Iran.Russian President Vladimir Putin: Let them hand over the drone wreckage to Russia; we will provide our assessment.According to Irans Fars News Agency, Iranian sources have denied the latest comments made by US President Trump.

The Australian Authority Suspends Orders For Two Permanent Investment Funds

Friday, the Australian securities regulator ordered a unit of asset management firm Perpetual Ltd to temporarily halt promoting or delivering two products to individual investors due to elevated market risks.


Perpetual is aiming to conclude a deal with EQT-owned Barings Private Equity Asia (BPEA) and Regal Partners, while being compelled by the court to launch its own takeover proposal for rival Pendal Group.


The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has ordered Perpetual Investment Management's Perpetual Pure Microcap Fund and Perpetual Geared Australian Share Fund to halt distributing interest and giving advice to retail investors for 21 days.


According to the regulator, the portfolios of the funds are exposed to extreme market volatility and carry substantial risks, increasing the potential that investors would sustain enormous losses.


"ASIC issued the interim measures to protect retail investors from engaging in funds that may not be appropriate for their financial objectives, circumstances, or needs," the regulator noted.


"The Australian Securities and Investments Commission is concerned that Perpetual did not appropriately consider these features and risks when choosing the wide target markets for the products."


The government expects Perpetual to take "immediate measures" to ensure compliance.


Reuters requested a response from Perpetual but did not receive a prompt reply.
