    Drone experts warn that Iran is deliberately targeting U.S. naval drones in the Strait of Hormuz to study American surveillance capabilities and learn how to evade U.S. defenses. The warning followed an attempted IRGC seizure of a U.S. unmanned surface vessel, after which the U.S. military destroyed two Iranian small boats. Experts say even brief access to captured hardware could reveal sensors, tactics and battlefield vulnerabilities.

Why Japan’s 3.8% bond shock is quietly setting a trap for Bitcoin

Japan’s latest 20-year government bond auction showed higher long-term borrowing costs, not collapsing demand. The average accepted yield rose to 3.856%, while bid coverage improved slightly and the yield tail narrowed, indicating orderly absorption. The auction alone does not show that a carry unwind has begun, but leveraged positions could face pressure if higher borrowing costs or a stronger yen coincide with weaker equities and crypto. The next test is the BOJ’s Sept. 17–18 meeting.
