The Digital Iron Curtain: Is Iran About to Crash the Global AI Boom?

 For decades, the "Middle East crisis" was a headline about crude oil, tankers, and the price at the pump. But as of March 2026, the stakes have shifted from the engine to the motherboard. While the world watches drone strikes over Isfahan and naval skirmishes in the Persian Gulf, a more quiet, more lethal war is being fought over the very building blocks of the 21st century: semiconductors. The "Digital Iron Curtain" is falling, and it isn't just dividing East and West—it’s threatening to starve the global AI revolution of its most basic needs. The Helium Hostage: Why the Strait of Hormuz is the New Silicon Valley We’ve long been told that the South China Sea is the "front line" of the chip war because of Taiwan’s dominance in fabrication. But the ongoing U.S.-Israel war with Iran has revealed a terrifying bottleneck: The Middle East is the lungs of the semiconductor industry. To make the world’s most advanced 3nm chips, you don’t just need engineers;...

    In Activity Log, II do not get the difference between "featured" and "allowed" on Timeline. If "allowed", it is already "featured", right?

    When a story is on your Timeline it is allowed. When you feature a story it spreads right across your Timeline the entire width. So this will become a story that is hard to miss.

    It doesn't allow me to change it to "hidden" or "feature".  Delete is the only other option.  Plus, you can't delete that you "liked" a comment without "unliking" it and you can't delete that you posted on someone's wall on your feed without also deleting the post on that person's wall.  It sucks.

    Hi
    I would like to show my activities. But they don't show up on Timeline. 
    When I hover over the icon in my Activity Log it says "allowed on Timeline" although it's not there!!!. And I don't get the choice between 'featured', 'allowed' or 'hidden' - the only choice is to unlike, delete etc.
