War spreads across the Middle East, and the Strait of Hormuz affects global nerves

War spreads across the Middle East, and the Strait of Hormuz affects global nerves

⑴ The military strikes by the US and Israel against Iran entered their 18th day on Tuesday, with the conflict spreading to multiple countries. Iran stated that it has launched the 57th wave of the "True Promise-4" operation, using various missiles to strike targets within Israel and the US's Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The Iranian government spokesperson said the attacks have resulted in numerous civilian casualties, with over 61,000 civilian facilities damaged. ⑵ The regional security situation has deteriorated sharply. The US embassy in Baghdad's "Green Zone" was attacked, and an airstrike on a residential house killed six people. According to Lebanon's Ministry of Health, Israeli airstrikes have caused at least 36 deaths, and since March 2, the total casualties in the country have exceeded 3,000. In Abu Dhabi, UAE, missile debris fell after interception, resulting in the death of a Pakistani national. ⑶ Risks to energy transport routes have surged. An oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman was damaged by an unidentified projectile, and after briefly closing its airspace, the UAE Civil Aviation Authority has announced the resumption of flights. The Dutch Prime Minister has clearly stated that the Netherlands will not participate in military operations in the Strait of Hormuz, while EU officials previously emphasized the need for diplomatic means to keep the strait open to avoid an energy crisis. ⑷ From a market perspective, the expansion of the conflict directly threatens key nodes in global oil supply. If the situation in the Strait of Hormuz spirals out of control, it will lead to soaring crude oil transport costs and skyrocketing insurance fees. Details such as the US aircraft carrier "Ford" fire that left over 600 people without beds and damaged refueling aircraft requesting emergency landing in Israel also reflect the high-intensity consumption of military operations. Going forward, close attention should be paid to Iran's potential countermeasures against key straits and the level of involvement by other major powers.

Updated Version 2 - SpaceX Targets U.S. Wireless Operators Through Spectrum Acquisition

Reuters, October 8 – SpaceX reached an agreement on Thursday to acquire a nationwide portfolio of low-frequency spectrum, enabling Elon Musk’s satellite business to mount direct orbital competition against traditional U.S. wireless telecom giants. While Starlink Mobile’s existing global 2 GHz mid-band spectrum will provide high bandwidth capacity, this new spectrum will allow its signals to penetrate obstacles. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed. This move accelerates billionaire Musk’s ambitions to bypass traditional wireless infrastructure and provide direct cellular network connections to smartphones from orbit. Low-frequency bands are highly valued in telecommunications for their ability to travel longer distances and penetrate dense structures such as walls and tree cover, thereby overcoming a major technical barrier previously faced by satellite mobile networks. The transaction involves the acquisition of 100% of the nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio held by private equity firm Grain Management and is still subject to regulatory approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Telecom stocks fell as investors feared competition from SpaceX could trigger a fierce price war and erode their market share in the already saturated U.S. wireless market. The shares of T-Mobile US, Verizon, and AT&T all dropped more than 5% in after-hours trading. The FCC this week also approved Starlink Mobile’s application for a second-generation satellite constellation, authorizing SpaceX to launch 15,000 satellites worldwide optimized for the 2 GHz band.
