DailyTimeCapsule brief
July 12, 2026
July 12, 2026 looked like a day when Gulf escalation spread across more borders while markets were stuck carrying Friday's close into the weekend. Kuwait said Iranian strikes hit land border posts and a Kuwait Oil Company offshore rig, the IRGC claimed attacks on HIMARS launchers in Kuwait and logistics facilities in Oman's Duqm port, and Qatar said falling debris injured three people during interceptions. The United Arab Emirates also warned residents that air-defence systems were engaging fresh missile and drone threats, while SPY still reflected its July 10 close of $754.95 because the capsule date fell on a Sunday. Apes and The Westies kept the screen lanes tied to July 12 itself, and the reviewed collections combined exact-window Topps NOW cards with near-date Image, LEGO, Hasbro, and MIT sources instead of fallback filler.
