No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The US-Iran conflict narrative remains unchanged from the previous synthesis, with no counter-signals or de-escalation reported. All other previously noted events (Nvidia cuts, bitcoin transfer, BP writedown) have no new data points. The dominant theme continues to escalate without fresh information.
