Almost four weeks of unrelenting US and Israeli air strikes have severely weakened Tehran’s military, but what remains of its vast missile arsenal was being used more efficiently from hard-to-reach bases in eastern Iran. In the latest example, strikes last weekend against Israel injured more than 100. Targets included the city of Dimona, home to the country’s main nuclear research facility, and mo...
Almost four weeks of unrelenting US and Israeli air strikes have severely weakened Tehran’s military, but what remains of its vast missile arsenal was being used more efficiently from hard-to-reach bases in eastern Iran. In the latest example, strikes last weekend against Israel injured more than 100. Targets included the city of Dimona, home to the country’s main nuclear research facility, and most likely involved Khorramshahr missiles, which have among the longest ranges and heaviest payloads...

Biswa1992/iStock via Getty Images S&P Global Energy tracks metals and mining M&A deals with a value of at least $10 million that involve 1 million ounces of gold or 100,000 metric tons of base metal in acquired reserves and resources (R&R). This report categorizes acquisition assets by primary metal — gold, copper, nickel and zinc — and does not split the acquisition cost for projects that contain more than one metal. Also included are project and company deals with lithium oxide, or Li 2 O (referred to as lithium in this article), in R&R, announced between Nov. 1, 2024, and Dec. 31, 2025. Terminated, non-equity deals — such as royalty and streaming — and "earn-in" transactions are not included in the analysis. The deal status is as of the time the data was compiled. The take The commodity preference of mining M&A activity flipped in favor of base metals in 2025, buttressed by a $27.96 billion megamerger between Anglo American PLC ( AAUKF )( NGLOY ) and Teck Resources Ltd. ( TECK ). The total deal value reached $52.71 billion across 50 deals, with gold deal value reaching a 15-year high. Lithium deal value was down 89% across just four deals amid price headwinds. A continued focus on diversified portfolios and consolidation is likely in 2026, and M&A activity may slow as the Middle East war continues. High-priced and midsized deals bolstered M&A activity within the base metals and gold mining sector in 2025, with the aggregate deal value doubling year-over-year to $52.7 billion across 50 qualifying transactions. This marked the highest annual deal value in 18 years. Gold-focused acquisitions dominated in terms of deal count, representing 64% of all transactions. However, base metal deals accounted for more than half of the total deal value due to a megamerger. In contrast, 2024 had no megadeals or transactions above the $5 billion mark. While there was a surge in deal value in 2025, due largely to the proposed merger between Anglo American and Teck Resources announc...

'Changes Everything': The A-10 'Warthog' Proves Its Worth Again Over The Strait Of Hormuz Authored by Mike Fredenburg via The Epoch Times, Despite Air Force claims that the A-10 has no place on the modern battlefield, a claim they have been making for decades , the A-10 is once again using its unmatched versatility and loitering capability to destroy fast-attack watercraft , drones, and enemy positions . And for the role it is performing in Operation Epic Fury, the Warthog is vastly superior to any F-35, F-15, F-16, B-2, or even the most advanced drone in the U.S. arsenal. While somewhat sleek, high-flying stealth fighters such as the maintenance-heavy F-35 dominate the Air Force budget, it is the A-10 Thunderbolt II that the Air Force is being forced to rely on to take the fight to the enemy’s backyard in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command has confirmed that A-10s are destroying Revolutionary Guard Corps fast-attack boats , shooting Shahed-style drones out of the sky, and striking ground targets . Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine highlighted the Warthog’s southern-flank contributions in a March 19 briefing, noting its ability to provide persistent overwatch where speed and altitude are actually negatives when it comes to the kind of clearing operations for which the A-10’s versatility and toughness make it ideal. 🚨 A-10 WARTHOGS AND APACHES ENTER THE FIGHT IN HORMUZ U.S. forces have escalated operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

StephenBridger/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The hits keep on coming for Domino's Pizza Group plc ( DPUKY ) ( DMPZF ) ('DPG' hereafter). Cost inflation and weak consumer demand were already headwinds for the firm even before the outbreak of war in the Middle East. Now, the potential for an energy price shock threatens to take them up to gale force. Unsurprisingly, this has not been great for DPG's beleaguered stock. The ADSs have delivered a 13% loss since my last piece in October, a performance that leaves them near a decade low. While trading conditions are tough right now, it remains the case that this is an industry problem rather than a brand-specific one. Meanwhile, DPG's price-to-earnings multiple remains at a lowly 10x, while the dividend yield, already at 5.6% when I last wrote on the company, has expanded to 6.5%. Both are historically cheap for this business. For that reason, I am leaving my "Strong Buy" rating in place. Data by YCharts Volumes Still Declining After revising its outlook downwards earlier in the year, about the best thing you can say about 2025 is that things didn't get any worse for Domino's. Management expected the firm to post £130-£140 million in adjusted EBITDA, and the £133.4 million print was within that range. Still, this mapped to a circa 7% year-on-year decline, while adjusted diluted EPS of £0.175 was down nearly 14%. DPG's business model has been one problem. To quickly recap, the company owns the master franchise rights to the Domino's brand in the U.K. and Ireland. Franchisees pay 5%-6% of their store-level sales to DPG, and the company passes around half of this on to the brand's ultimate owner, Domino's Pizza, Inc. ( DPZ ). While this arrangement means DPG makes some money from net royalty fees, it's a minority of the company's EBITDA. Domino's Pizza Group plc 2025 Results Presentation Most of DPG's earnings come from selling supplies to franchised stores. The problem is that volume is more important in this model than ...
