Le président Donald Trump s’exprime sur les opérations militaires des États-Unis en Iran

Traduction fournie par le département d'État des États-Unis à titre gracieux Le président Donald Trump s'exprime sur les opérations militaires des États-Unis en Iran   La Maison-Blanche Le 28 février 2026 Les forces armées américaines viennent de lancer une opération militaire de grande envergure en Iran. Notre objectif est de défendre le peuple américain en éliminant les menaces imminentes émanant du régime iranien, un groupe cruel composé d'individus effroyables. Ses activités menaçantes mettent directement en danger les États-Unis, nos soldats, nos bases à l'étranger et nos alliés à travers le monde. Cela fait 47 ans que le régime iranien scande « Mort à l'Amérique » et mène une campagne incessante de massacres et d'assassinats de masse qui vise les États-Unis, nos soldats et des innocents dans de très nombreux pays. L'une des toutes premières actions du régime a été de soutenir la prise de contrôle violente de l'ambassade américaine à Téhéran, et la prise de dizaines d'otages américains pendant 444 jours. En 1983, des mandataires de l'Iran ont perpétré l'attentat à la bombe contre la caserne des Marines à Beyrouth, qui a coûté la vie à 241 militaires américains. En 2000, ils avaient connaissance de l'attaque contre l'USS Cole et sont probablement impliqués dans cet attentat. De nombreuses personnes y ont trouvé la mort. Les forces iraniennes ont tué et mutilé des centaines de militaires américains en Iraq. Les mandataires du régime ont continué à lancer d'innombrables attaques contre les forces américaines stationnées au Moyen-Orient au cours des dernières années, ainsi que contre les navires militaires et commerciaux américains et les voies maritimes internationales. Nous ne tolérerons plus cette terreur de masse. Du Liban au Yémen, en passant par la Syrie et l'Iraq, le régime a armé, entraîné et financé des milices terroristes sanglantes. Et c'est le Hamas, allié de l'Iran, qui a lancé les attaques monstrueuses du 7 octobre contre Israël, massacrant plus de 1000 innocents, dont 46 Américains, et pris 12 de nos citoyens en otage. Ces attaques ont été brutales. Le monde n'avait jamais rien vu de semblable. L'Iran est le principal sponsor étatique du terrorisme au monde et vient tout juste de tuer des dizaines de milliers de ses propres citoyens qui manifestaient dans la rue. Les États-Unis, et en particulier mon administration, ont toujours eu pour politique que ce régime terroriste ne doit jamais pouvoir se doter de l'arme nucléaire. Je le répète : ils ne doivent jamais posséder d'arme nucléaire. C'est pourquoi, lors de l'opération Midnight Hammer en juin dernier, nous avons anéanti le programme nucléaire du régime à Fordow, Natanz et Ispahan. Après cette attaque, nous les avons avertis de ne jamais reprendre le développement malveillant d'armes nucléaires, et nous avons cherché à plusieurs reprises à conclure un accord. Nous avons essayé. Ils voulaient le faire. Ils ne voulaient pas le faire. Ils voulaient de nouveau le faire. Ils ne voulaient pas le faire. Ils ne savaient pas ce qui se passait. Ils voulaient simplement se livrer à des actions malveillantes. Mais l'Iran a refusé, comme il le fait depuis des dizaines et des dizaines d'années. Ils ont rejeté toutes les occasions de renoncer à leurs ambitions nucléaires, et nous ne pouvons plus le tolérer. Au lieu de cela, ils ont tenté de reconstruire leur programme nucléaire et de poursuivre le développement de missiles à longue portée qui peuvent désormais menacer nos très bons amis et alliés en Europe, nos soldats stationnés à l'étranger, et qui pourraient bientôt atteindre le territoire américain. Imaginez à quel point ce régime serait enhardi s'il disposait et était effectivement armé d'armes nucléaires pour faire passer son message. C'est pour cela que les forces armées américaines ont lancé une opération massive, toujours en cours, afin d'empêcher cette dictature radicale et malfaisante de menacer les États-Unis et nos intérêts fondamentaux en matière de sécurité nationale. Nous allons détruire leurs missiles et raser leur industrie balistique. Elle sera, je le répète, totalement annihilée. Nous allons anéantir leur marine. Nous allons faire en sorte que les groupes terroristes de la région ne puissent plus déstabiliser la région ou le monde, attaquer nos forces et utiliser leurs engins explosifs improvisés ou leurs bombes placées en bord de route, comme on les appelle parfois, pour blesser gravement et tuer des milliers et des milliers de personnes, dont de nombreux Américains. Et nous veillerons à ce que l'Iran n'obtienne pas l'arme nucléaire. C'est un message très simple. Ils n'auront jamais l'arme nucléaire. Ce régime apprendra bientôt que personne ne doit défier la force et la puissance des forces armées des États-Unis. J'ai construit et reconstruit notre armée au cours de mon premier mandat, et aucune autre armée au monde ne peut rivaliser avec leur puissance, leur force ou leur sophistication. Mon administration a pris toutes les mesures possibles pour minimiser les risques pour les militaires américains dans la région. Cependant, et je ne fais pas cette déclaration à la légère, les intentions du régime iranien sont meurtrières. Des héros américains courageux pourraient perdre la vie, et il pourrait y avoir des victimes parmi nous. Cela arrive souvent en temps de guerre, mais nous ne faisons pas ça pour maintenant. Nous le faisons pour l'avenir, et c'est une noble mission. Nous prions pour chaque membre des forces armées qui risque sa vie avec dévouement afin de garantir que les Américains et nos enfants ne soient jamais menacés par un Iran doté de l'arme nucléaire. Nous demandons à Dieu de protéger tous nos héros du danger, et nous sommes convaincus qu'avec son aide, les hommes et les femmes des forces armées l'emporteront. Nous avons les meilleurs au monde, et ils vaincront. Aux membres de la Garde révolutionnaire islamique, aux forces armées et à la police, je dis ce soir que vous devez déposer les armes et ainsi bénéficier d'une immunité totale, ou bien faire face à une mort certaine. Alors, déposez les armes. Vous serez traités équitablement et bénéficierez d'une immunité totale, ou bien vous devrez affronter une mort certaine. Enfin, au grand peuple iranien, je dis ce soir que l'heure de votre liberté est proche. Restez à l'abri. Ne quittez pas votre domicile. Il est très dangereux de sortir. Des bombes vont tomber partout. Lorsque nous aurons terminé, prenez le contrôle de votre gouvernement. Il vous appartiendra. Ce sera probablement votre seule chance pour des générations. Vous demandez l'aide des États-Unis depuis de nombreuses années, mais vous ne l'avez jamais obtenue. Aucun président n'était prêt à faire ce que je suis prêt à faire ce soir. Vous avez maintenant un président qui vous donne ce que vous voulez, alors voyons comment vous allez réagir. Les États-Unis vous soutiennent avec une puissance écrasante et une force dévastatrice. Le moment est venu de prendre votre destin en main et de vous ouvrir les portes d'un avenir prospère et glorieux qui est à votre portée. C'est le moment d'agir. Ne laissez pas passer cette occasion. Que Dieu bénisse les hommes et les femmes courageux des forces armées américaines. Que Dieu bénisse les États-Unis d'Amérique. Que Dieu vous bénisse tous. Merci.

The Next Nvidia Is Already Out There

These "stealth AI" stocks aren't priced in yet…

The Next Nvidia Is Already Out There VIEW IN BROWSER By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily The market is sending a strange message right now. Software stocks are getting crushed. The Nasdaq is flat on the year. The Magnificent 7 has quietly become the Magnificent 1 — with Nvidia (NVDA) doing most of the heavy lifting while the rest drift sideways or lower. Meanwhile, semiconductors, energy, and industrials keep climbing. Money is moving, and quickly. But where… and why? These questions are what make my recent conversation with Jason Bodner so timely. Jason isn't guessing at any of this. He spent over a decade on Wall Street running the equity derivatives desk at Cantor Fitzgerald, executing billion-dollar trades for the biggest hedge funds and asset managers on the planet. His job was to move massive amounts of money leaving as little trace as possible. But the money always left a trace. And Jason built his Quantum Score system to find it. Right now, Nvidia is the only stock in the Magnificent Seven group of giant tech stocks with a bullish Quantum Score.  But in this interview, Jason breaks down everything his system is telling him right now about the smaller stocks that present far more opportunity than NVDA right now. We also cover: Why software stocks are getting hammered even as AI spending soars. How Jason found Nvidia in 2017 at a split-adjusted price of $2.83 — and what stocks look like today. And why he and Silicon Valley insider Jeff Brown believe a whole new class of "stealth AI" stocks is hiding in plain sight. Check out our conversation, and keep a notepad handy… Recommended Link Where AI Says NVDA Could Close Next This AI can forecast U.S. stock prices to the penny. Here is where it says Nvidia’s stock could close next… You can view this forecast right now, for free, by clicking here now to watch a full breakdown of: What this AI is… How one firm spent $22 million across its history to make their tools a reality… And how, thanks to the help of a former Air Force nuclear missile coder, this financial AI can forecast the future price of Nvidia plus 2,300 other U.S. stocks, days in advance. Click here to see the full break-down of this AI and even try it for yourself. Jason recently introduced a new research partnership with Jeff Brown, founder of Brownstone Research and former executive at Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC). Jason and Jeff have two completely different approaches… Jason leads with the underlying stock data, while Jeff looks at every investment from a technology perspective first and foremost. Regardless, both seem to keep landing on the same stocks. They call the opportunity before us today "stealth AI." It’s because these companies look like something else on the surface – power suppliers, hardware firms, defense contractors – but are quietly becoming critical to the entire AI buildout. Jason and Jeff go even deeper on this theme in their newly released joint presentation, the Secret AI Stocks Summit. In it, they each share one stock they believe is perfectly positioned for the next phase of AI – stocks that score high on Jason's Quantum Edge system and check every box Jeff looks for from a technology standpoint. If you want to know where the money is heading next — and which under-the-radar companies could be tomorrow's big winners — catch the replay while it’s still online .

February 28, 2026   |   Listen Online   |   Read Online Someone Just Deployed $80,000 Into 2026 Opera Calls Position for a Multi-Quarter Breakout in the Hidden Browser War The options tape just caught a massive outlier in a name that usually flies completely under the radar for most retail traders. We just saw a whale step into the arena and sweep up 2,000 contracts of the Opera (OPRA) April 17, 2026, $19.0 calls for $0.40 each. This isn't just a casual speculation; this is a highly concentrated bet on a massive structural repricing of a company that is quietly dominating the browser and AI-integrated software space. Positioning for a Multi-Quarter Move When you break down the raw numbers of this print, the total premium paid hits exactly $80,000. While that might look like a small sum compared to the trillion-dollar mega-caps, in a niche ticker like OPRA, this represents a significant chunk of the open interest and a clear institutional footprint. The buyer is looking more than a year out, giving this trade massive "duration" to play out. By choosing the $19 strike, they are positioning for a move that requires a significant percentage gain from current levels. The $0.40 price point suggests they caught a massive fill at the ask, signaling an urgent demand for immediate exposure. This buyer isn't interested in day-trading a 2% move. They are building a position for a multi-quarter trend that they believe is just beginning to accelerate. Unlocked: Elon Musk's Next Big IPO (Ad) For years, the American economy has been engineered to reward Wall Street institutional investors and Silicon Valley insiders first. Everyday investors like you and me were left with the table scraps. But this rigged game ends today! Click here now and Jeff Brown will show you how to claim your stake… On what's set to be the biggest IPO in history… Before it goes public. The Explosive Leverage of Cheap LEAPS To understand the mechanics of this trade, you have to look at the explosive leverage inherent in these out-of-the-money calls. Because the premium is so low at $0.40, any move toward that $19 strike will cause the delta of these options to skyrocket. These are LEAPS (Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities), which means the daily time decay (theta) is practically nonexistent right now. The buyer controls 200,000 shares of the underlying stock for a fraction of the capital it would take to buy the shares outright. The breakeven at expiration is $19.40, but the real profit is made on the volatility expansion as the stock moves toward the strike. This is a high-efficiency capital deployment. If the stock makes a violent move toward $25 or $30 over the next year, this $80,000 bet could easily transform into a million-dollar payday. The Institutional Thesis Behind the Bet Institutions don't drop $80,000 on deep out-of-the-money calls in a browser company unless they have a very specific macroeconomic or fundamental thesis. Opera has been transforming itself from a simple legacy browser into a high-margin, AI-integrated platform with massive user growth in emerging markets. Smart money is currently hunting for "under-the-radar" AI plays that aren't trading at the astronomical multiples of the Mag 7. Opera's revenue growth and dividend yield make it a rare hybrid of a growth stock with a value-based safety net. The massive call buy suggests someone expects a major catalyst—perhaps an acquisition or a massive earnings beat—well before 2026. When you see this kind of flow, you have to realize that you aren't just betting on a chart; you are riding the coattails of a player who likely has a much deeper data set than the average retail trader. Defined Risk, Unlimited Upside The absolute beauty of this setup lies in the clear risk asymmetry that options provide over common stock. If you bought 200,000 shares of OPRA today, you would be tying up millions of dollars in capital and facing massive downside risk if the market took a tumble. With these calls, the absolute maximum downside is strictly capped at the $80,000 premium paid. The upside is mathematically unlimited, allowing the buyer to capture the "meat" of a massive move with strictly defined risk. This allows the institution to keep the rest of their cash in high-yield assets while still maintaining massive upside exposure to the tech sector. This is the cornerstone of professional portfolio management. You define your "stop loss" the moment you enter the trade by limiting your risk to the premium, while leaving the ceiling completely open for a massive, multi-bagger return. Final Takeaway Trading at this level isn't about guessing where the stock goes tomorrow. It's about identifying where the heaviest concentrations of smart money are positioning for the next major cycle. When a whale drops eighty grand on 2026 paper, they are telling you that they believe the current valuation is a floor, not a ceiling. This specific Opera call sweep is a screaming signal that the market is beginning to value niche AI software plays much more aggressively. We don't need to be right about every single tick in the market; we just need to be right about the direction of the institutional flow. If this whale is correct about the structural shift in Opera's business model, this $0.40 option will look like an absolute gift by the time 2026 rolls around.

The Tech Trade Just Split in Two By Gianni Di Poce Hello TheoTrader, Nvidia crushed earnings estimates last week. The stock tanked into Friday's close anyway. Everyone panicked. But they panicked about the wrong thing. Money is not leaving tech. It is rotating within tech. A major divergence has been building across tech subsectors for months.

The $110 Billion Bet on Super AI – and the Moves to Make Now

Inside my Road to AGI strategy — and how to position before the crowd catches on…

Eric Fry Editor, Smart Money DAILY ISSUE The $110 Billion Bet on Super AI – and the Moves to Make Now VIEW IN BROWSER Hello, Reader. The traditional gift bestowed for a 10-year anniversary is tin or aluminum. Both metals symbolize the durability and resilience of a partnership. OpenAI hit its own 10-year milestone earlier this year: The company’s operations officially got underway in January 2016. But OpenAI’s “anniversary gift” isn’t tin or aluminum. It’s tens of billions of dollars in fresh capital. The Information reported on Wednesday that Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) plans to invest up to $50 billion in the ChatGPT creator, contingent upon OpenAI going public… Or achieving artificial ‌general intelligence — AGI, meaning AI that can match (or exceed) human-level ability across a wide range of tasks. Ten years ago, CEO Sam Altman founded the startup with the specific, singular goal of developing AGI to benefit all of humanity. It’s the core tenet of the company’s mission statement. Although it has yet to make that dream real, Altman believes the company is getting close. At the India AI Impact Summit 2026 last week, he stated that superintelligence is “only a couple of years away” and that “more of the world’s intellectual capacity could reside inside of data centers than outside of them” by 2028. Longtime readers know that I’ve been keeping an eye on the impending technology. The changes this quantum leap in AI will usher in are unfathomable. AGI not only has world-altering potential, but it will also create immense wealth for early adopters. That is why Amazon is tossing its money-filled hat into this most recent funding-round ring. But it’s not the only company doing so. And as billions pour into OpenAI and AGI behind the scenes, cashing in on that growth directly becomes more difficult. So, in today’s Smart Money, let’s take a look at who’s funding the future of superintelligence. Then, I’ll share my three-pronged portfolio strategy that will help you lessen risk while capitalizing on AGI’s growth. Recommended Link I taught my daughter to double the market That’s right: my Gen-Z, art-student daughter, ran laps around the S&P 500. The year after, she did it again. So, what was the powerful strategy I taught her that allowed her to do better than most money managers on Wall Street? It’s surprisingly straightforward, and incredibly effective. It’s the strategy that earned me the reputation of an “icon” and a “wunderkind” among top investors… It’s the same strategy I use to manage the billions of dollars my clients ask me to manage… And it’s the only strategy I knew I could trust with my daughter’s inheritance. If it’s good enough for my own family, it’s good enough for you. I reveal all the details in this new video, which I urge you to watch today. Big Tech Is All-In on AGI OpenAI’s latest funding round is one of the largest private investment rounds in tech history, reaching a record-breaking $110 billion. It could value OpenAI at approximately $800 billion. And investing up to $50 billion could make Amazon the biggest contributor. As part of this agreement, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will also expand cloud and infrastructure partnerships with OpenAI. But as I mentioned, other major tech companies are also putting their weight behind the AI startup. Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp. (SFTBY) and Nvidia Corp. ( NVDA) each plan to invest $30 billion as part of the private financing. OpenAI is spending heavily on data centers, so Big Tech seems to be wagering that strengthening ties will give them a competitive edge in the AI race. Tin and aluminum are traditional anniversary gifts. In today’s AI arms race, billion-dollar capital commitments serve the same purpose. But importantly, these investments don’t just create closer ties among the tech elite: They also show that these companies believe the dream of AGI is one worth investing in. Big Tech is willing to commit enormous amounts of capital to stay competitive in what it sees as the next major technological frontier. And OpenAI seems ready to put Big Tech’s money where its mouth is. On Thursday, Altman posted on X that OpenAI is looking for people with “good taste” to work on AGI. This includes those with non-tech backgrounds. The field is rapidly evolving even beyond OpenAI. Recent weeks have seen a flurry of broader AGI activity… Refining leadership: David Luan, who led Amazon’s AGI efforts, is departing to start something new in the AGI space. Proposing new benchmarks: Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, proposed the “Einstein test” – a new AGI benchmark aimed at a more rigorous standard to define true general intelligence Forming coalitions for open and ethical AGI: The Sentient Foundation launched as a global nonprofit to ensure that AGI remains open-source, decentralized, and aligned with humanity’s interests. Positioning matters more now because the biggest gains won’t come from chasing headlines — they’ll come from building the right framework before AGI goes mainstream. Though we don’t know the exact date AGI will arrive, we all need to be prepared for the meteoric impact it will have on our lives. Don’t Chase the Headlines – Build the Framework But here’s the thing: Wall Street is lagging far behind in AGI’s paradigm shift. They are making the mistake of grabbing flashy, and easy, tech picks. Names like Amazon, Google, and Nvidia are loudly aligning themselves with the impending technology. But instead of backing household AI names that have already captured most of their profit potential, the smarter approach is a multifaceted one. That is why I’ve put together an AGI roadmap to building “futureproof” wealth. Here are the avenues… Investing in AGI Investing alongside AGI Investing in “stealth” AGI I detail these three paths in my special Road to AGI broadcast, where I also share more companies and sectors that will benefit from AGI’s arrival. There is a much smarter and far less risky strategy for building wealth in the age of AI’s exponential progress – and many of those investments are in companies that have no visible ties to AI whatsoever. In the broadcast, I also share my No. 1 stock idea for The Road to AGI. It’s an under-the-radar play that most people underestimate… and an “investing alongside AGI” recommendation. Tin and aluminum may symbolize durability. But in the age of AI, real resilience comes from owning the infrastructure of intelligence itself — before it becomes obvious to the crowd. That’s exactly what my Road to AGI strategy is designed to do. Click here to watch my free presentation. Regards, Eric Fry Editor, Smart Money
