World of Payne | Fire & Facts: China's Petroyuan Just Made Its Move — Iran, the Strait, and the Currency War Nobody's Explaining

This week on World of Payne — Fire & Facts — we're covering six stories that each individually would be historic. Together, they reveal a world reshaping itself in real time. Here's what's inside:
THE IRAN CEASEFIRE: 45 days of war. 1,400+ dead. The Strait of Hormuz closed. Pakistan brokers a deal 90 minutes before Trump's deadline to destroy Iran's 'civilization.' Peace talks launched in Islamabad last Friday. We break down every angle — including why Lebanon is still threatening to blow the whole thing up.
THE $1.5 TRILLION PENTAGON BUDGET: The largest year-over-year defense increase since WWII. We cover what's in it, what gets cut to fund it, and ask the accountability questions both parties need to answer — including why the Pentagon has never passed an audit.
ARTEMIS II: Four astronauts just traveled further from Earth than any human in history — 252,756 miles. Splashing down TODAY. We tell the Carroll crater story. We talk about why this is strategic, not just scientific.
CHINA & RUSSIA AT THE UN: They vetoed the Strait of Hormuz safety resolution. We explain what that vote actually means for the long game.
NORTH KOREA: 6 ballistic missiles in 2026. Buried under Iran coverage. We're not burying it.
THE PETROYUAN — THE BIG STORY: Iran is charging yuan to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Ships are already paying in yuan. Deutsche Bank says this is 'the beginning of the petroyuan.' Bloomberg says 'The Iran War Just Broke the Petrodollar.' China built the mBridge platform, executed a $7B yuan-Saudi swap, and waited for a forcing function. Iran just handed it to them. We cover every angle — and launch Building Blocks Episode 1: 'The Deal That Wired the World — Nixon, Kissinger, and the Fifty-Year Battle for the Petrodollar.' The deep dive on how we got here.
