Is the mystery behind prosecutor Nisman's death finally unraveling? Judge Arroyo Salgado's new hypothesis could reopen the case and expose unexpected connections that would once again shake the foundations of power in Argentina.

Judge Arroyo Salgado Links Nisman's Death to Intelligence Services and YCRT

Federal judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado, ex-wife of prosecutor Alberto Nisman, has put forward an "explosive hypothesis" regarding his 2015 death, suggesting that those implicated have ties to intelligence services, the state-owned coal company Yacimientos Carboníferos de Río Turbio (YCRT), and a current national government official. According to Arroyo Salgado, these connections point to intelligence operatives embedded within YCRT as the perpetrators of Nisman's murder, and she also referenced a meeting between a company manager and Pablo Gordillo, a former Kirchner-era official now serving in the Milei administration.

Arroyo Salgado's allegations lay bare the persistent opacity surrounding the Nisman case and its ramifications within Argentina's political and intelligence networks. The hypothesis — linking a state-owned enterprise to a high-profile murder and to figures in the current government — underscores deep public distrust in the country's institutions and justice system, keeping alive a controversy that has shaken national politics for years.

"San Isidro federal judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado yesterday put forward an explosive hypothesis regarding the 2015 death of her ex-husband, prosecutor Alberto Nisman, alleging that the suspected perpetrators are linked to intelligence services connected to the state coal company Yacimientos Carboníferos de Río Turbio and to an official in the current national government."

Ian Bremmer Report Suggests Trump Should Declare Victory in Iran and Pull Back from the Strait of Hormuz

According to a report by influential political scientist Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group, the only viable solution to the situation with Iran is for President Trump to unilaterally declare victory and withdraw from the conflict, leaving other nations to negotiate with Tehran over passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Bremmer argues that both a fair peace deal and a full-scale military invasion are currently off the table for the United States, noting that Trump's tepid response has only emboldened Iran.

Bremmer's analysis suggests that Trump has been poorly advised by his inner circle, with his decisions built on flawed premises that were never corrected — amounting to a defeat for the administration. While a withdrawal may not look like a victory, it would be the least damaging option for the United States, while also reshaping regional power dynamics by forcing other global economies with greater exposure to Hormuz to take a more active role in diplomacy with Tehran.

"Trump could declare victory, end the war unilaterally, cutting American losses, while leaving other countries to negotiate directly with Iran over Hormuz passage."

Witness Confirms Illegal Payment in Adorni Case; Bullrich Demands Immediate Asset Declaration

Troubles are mounting for Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni after witness Leandro Miano confirmed before prosecutor Pollicita the existence of a side payment of $65,000 in cash — made outside the official deed — in connection with a property sale. Adding to the pressure, a court ruled to lift the tax secrecy protections on Adorni and his wife with the provincial tax authority ARBA, as part of the investigation led by Judge Lijo.

Against this backdrop, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich publicly declared that Adorni should file his asset disclosure immediately, without waiting for the July deadline. Bullrich argued that the allegations against Adorni are "bogging down" President Milei's administration, signaling the need for a swift resolution to dispel any shadow of doubt over the government's conduct.

"What should have happened is that Adorni should have submitted his asset declaration immediately, not wait until July 31 … because the allegations against him are, he says, bogging down the administration."

Martin Wolf and Simon Jack Warn of New Global Financial Crisis Risk

Martin Wolf, the influential Financial Times columnist, has warned that the risk of a worldwide financial crisis — similar to those of the 1980s and 2008 — is returning to the center of global debate. Wolf argues that major trade and financial imbalances, with China and Germany accumulating surpluses while the United States grows its public debt, are creating an unsustainable system.

Adding to these concerns, BBC economics editor Simon Jack has also flagged warning signs reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis. The rise of protectionism, Trump's tariffs, China's excess savings, and weak European demand are all intensifying economic tensions. This leads Wolf to a pessimistic outlook on the world's ability to correct these imbalances in an era dominated by populism and nationalism.

"Martin Wolf warned that major trade and financial imbalances have returned to the center of global debate, just as they did before the crises of the 1980s and 2008."

Argentine Markets Rally on Debt Upgrade and Easing Iran Tensions

Argentina enjoyed a positive economic session, with country risk falling to 514 basis points — its lowest level since January — driven by Fitch's upgrade of Argentina's sovereign debt rating. The Buenos Aires stock exchange rose 4.42% on the Merval index, and all four dollar exchange rates (official, blue, MEP, and cash-with-settlement) declined, with the blue rate even falling below the official rate.

This recovery, which was mirrored on Wall Street with strong gains across major indices, is attributed to a combination of factors: the Argentine debt upgrade, a degree of market optimism fueled by an apparent easing of tensions with Iran, and continued enthusiasm over advances in artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, ongoing international volatility suggests these gains, while significant, could prove fragile in the face of new geopolitical developments.

"Fitch upgraded Argentina's debt rating, which drove bond prices higher and pushed country risk down. I think there is an additional factor at play — a certain enthusiasm in the markets around the Iran situation."

President Milei Fiercely Defends Adorni and Lashes Out at the Press

President Javier Milei launched a heated defense of his chief of staff, Manuel Adorni, during a television interview, dismissing allegations against him as a "political and journalistic operation." Milei unleashed a broadside against the press, branding journalists "corrupt, vile" and "liars," and claiming that 95% of reporters lie and that their coverage is driven by wounded egos.

In his impassioned defense, the president dismissed the testimony of contractor Tabar, labeling him a "Kirchnerist" and a "liar," and called congresswoman Marcela Pagano a "liar" as well. Meanwhile, Adorni's wife, Betina Angeletti, posted a cryptic Instagram message about "leaving something behind" and "making space for the new," sparking speculation about a possible departure or reshuffle within the inner circle. Despite mounting pressure, Milei stated categorically: "There is no way Adorni is leaving."

"What Patricia did was spoil it — she gave away what's going to happen. I will not sacrifice myself on the altar of journalists' egos."
