JUST IN: ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Iran rejects US demands to dismantle its nuclear facilities.
Iran is offering a phased deal that would pause fighting first, then move into 30 days of nuclear negotiations while transferring some of its highly enriched uranium to a third country (for example Russia, which offered to do it in the past). Iran is also seeking guarantees that any transferred uranium would be returned if US later exits the agreement or talks collapse. The proposal would also reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic in stages as sanctions and restrictions on Iranian ships and ports are lifted. #IRANIANPRESIDENT #usa #USIranStandoff #USIranTalksFailToReachAgreement $SUI $BILL $TROLL
The same Banks who called Bitcoin and crypto a "scam" are now terrified itโll put them out of business.
Ahead of the May 14th Senate vote, U.S. banking groups are panicking and pushing for last-minute changes to kill stablecoin yields.
Theyโre flat-out rejecting a Senate compromise that allows for rewards, fearing "activity-based" incentives are just interest in disguise.
They know if you can actually earn on your digital dollars, their low-interest savings accounts are toast.
Banks are losing the grip and Crypto is taking over. Bitcoin is about to disrupt the entire Financial system. #CLARITYActHearingSetforMay14 #CFTC&SECStrengthenOversightCollaborationOnPredictionMarkets
The IRGC Navy announced in its official statement that from now on, any attack on Iranian oil tankers will be responded to with an attack on US military bases.
Iran says Khamenei suffered minor injuries but remains out of public view
For the first time since the war began, Iran has publicly acknowledged and detailed the injuries sustained by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei during the 28 February US-Israeli strikes that killed his father, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mazaher Hosseini, the head of protocol in the office of the Supreme Leader, said on Friday that Khamenei suffered injuries to his kneecap and lower back, and was struck by a small piece of shrapnel behind his ear during the attack on the Supreme Leaderโs compound in central Tehran, according to The Wall Street Journal and Iran International. โDuring the attack, Khamenei was not in the place where the attack took place. They hit his home, where his wife was killed. He was on his way, on the stairs, when the missile struck there,โ Hosseini told supporters in a video shared by Nour News, a media outlet affiliated with Iranโs Supreme National Security Council. Hosseini insisted the 56-year-old cleric is now โin complete healthโ and said his absence from public life is purely a security precaution. โThe enemy is spreading all manner of rumours and false claims. They want to see him and find him, but people should be patient and not rush. He will speak to you when the time is right,โ A Stark Contrast With International Reports The official Iranian account stands in sharp contrast to reports from Western media and intelligence officials over the past two months. Reuters reported in April, citing three people familiar with Khameneiโs inner circle, that he suffered severe facial disfigurement and serious wounds to one or both legs. The New York Times reported in late April that he needs a prosthetic for one of his legs, which has been operated on three times, and that he sustained severe burns to his face and lips that will eventually require plastic surgery. Earlier in March, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly said Khamenei was likely โdisfiguredโ, while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress he had โsuffered serious woundsโ. Iran has consistently pushed back on such characterisations since the early days of the conflict. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said in March that Khamenei was in โgood healthโ, and Iranโs representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahraini, attributed his absence from public view solely to โsecurity considerationsโ. Behind the Scenes, a Leader Still Steering Strategy The disclosure came the same day CNN reported, citing multiple US intelligence sources, that Khamenei is believed to be playing a role in shaping Iranโs wartime strategy and its negotiations with Washington aimed at ending the conflict. According to the assessment, Khamenei communicates through trusted couriers and in-person meetings whilst recovering, avoiding electronic communication to protect his location. Yet US officials remain uncertain about the extent of his actual control. Some analysts within the intelligence community believe other members of Iranโs elite, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, may be using Khameneiโs name to advance their own agendas. One source told CNN there is evidence Khamenei is โfairly removed from the decision-making process and only sporadically accessibleโ. More than two months after the strikes, Khamenei has still not appeared on camera or spoken publicly โ a silence that continues to fuel speculation about whether Iranโs account of his condition tells the full story. $BILL $INX $TROLL

Not because of a cyberattack. But because a few underwater cables near Hormuz stop working.
This is what Iranโs next pressure strategy could look like. ๐
