@cryptorover The release to Trump family accounts I guess 🤣

BREAKING According to Iranian Channels the U.S. has authorized the release of $7 billion dollars in frozen Iranian funds held in Qatari banks.

@anwaribrahim We need more of that 😈

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr Kamal Kharazi, former Foreign Minister of Iran whose untimely death came from the wounds inflicted by Zionist terrorist attacks. I first came to know Dr Kharazi during his years as Iran’s envoy to the United Nations in New York, and our friendship carried through his distinguished tenure as Foreign Minister. He was a man of rare learning and genuine warmth: always thoughtful, always gracious. The world has lost an exceptional diplomat and I have lost a dear friend. My heartfelt condolences to his family and to the people of Iran. His passing is a reminder of the terrible cost of this conflict. This war must end. ANWAR IBRAHIM Photo: Awani

@brewerov Ну одно дело, когда Германия и Франция на наших глазах за последние 5 лет демонтировали демократию и свободу слова у себя в странах. Россия и Китай совершенно в другой лиге в этом плане.

Дуров напоминает Кадырова. Тот любит покричать про притяснение мусульман в каком-то богом забытом русском захолустье, прислать своих бородатых падаванов запугать одинокого священника или детей. Но напрочь не замечает геноцид мусульман в Китае, где уйгуров просто уничтожают именно за веру. Так и Дуров, петухом прыгает на европейцев, но тихо посапывает, когда его телегу блокирует Путин или когда интернет перекрывают китайцы или арабы. Вот моська, знать, она сильна, что лает на слона.

@araghchi Looking forward to hearing about your death under US bombs, chap 🍾

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

@BRICSinfo War then 🍾

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran rejects US and Israeli demands to restrict its uranium enrichment program.

@StephenKing Iran.

Who started this mess, you idiot?

@NewsDayMundo "demands the release of its frozen assets within a maximum period of two weeks" - or what?

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA: Irán lanza un ultimátum a EE. UU. y exige el desbloqueo de sus activos congelados en un plazo máximo de dos semanas. La tensión escala en el panorama internacional. 🌍🇺🇸🇮🇷

@jtevelow That is true indeed, Russia have been trading oil for BTC a few years now.

Yeah but the concept puts game theory in motion. Every nation is now considering Bitcoin for trade deals. Every nation is now looking at Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Not one or two. Every nation. This is the power of Game theory. There is no off button. The game is global. The speed of the game only accelerates. Forget about Iran. This can only mean one thing for Bitcoin.

Game theory.

When we talk about the current outcome of the war, I want to recall the words of Russian combat general Alexander Lebed: “All wars - even those that last a hundred years - end the same way: with negotiations and peace. For me, the question has long been: is it worth piling up mountains of the dead, reducing the work of generations to ashes, only to sit down and negotiate anyway? Maybe this uncivilized part should be excluded altogether?” 💡 This quote fully applies to Iran’s situation today - and does not reflect the position of the United States. 📌 In fact, the U.S. and Iran are now returning to negotiations with essentially the same agenda they had before the war. ⚠️ But: - In Iran, the people who made decisions in the previous negotiations - the same ones whose positions prevented Donald Trump from reaching a deal - are now dead - A significant part of Iran’s military and industrial infrastructure has been destroyed 💀 So the “mountains of the dead” and the work of generations reduced to ashes - this is the reality on one side of the negotiating table, on Iran’s side. 🤝 On the other side - from JD Vance: “Alright, let’s try to reach an agreement again.” 💣 I also like a recent post by Ukrainian military analyst Oleksii Arestovych @arestovych - How to look at “who is winning.” He wrote: There are four layers of winning: 1️⃣ Battlefield “We repelled the Russian meat assault!” 2️⃣ Military campaign “We liberated Kherson!” 3️⃣ Economy “We crippled Russian oil exports.” 4️⃣ Future framework “Who will write the rules of the post-war world?” Most people look only at layer 1. 👉 Here I’ll add from myself: right now everyone is focused on the battlefield, where Iran is demanding money from oil tankers - and some amount, literally a few cases, has been paid. It seems it hasn’t even reached 5 payments so far. And then Oleksii writes: The US / Israel didn’t bother with levels one and two at all. They pushed Iran’s military economy back into the stone age, reducing its military capabilities. For Israel, this is a clear level three victory.

It is truly remarkable that after the Vietnam War, after the Afghanistan War, after a catalogue of US military failures in the post 1945 world, people claiming to be serious analysts are saying because the US dropped alot of bombs it won this war. It did not.

Before the war Iran controlled 4% of the global energy supply. Today they control 20% due to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran won the war decisively.

Let’s clarify this: Iran is currently not earning any money from the strait. The number of payments has likely not even reached five transactions so far. 📌 Moreover, there is no financial or legal infrastructure in place that would allow Iran to generate significant revenue from allowing ships to pass. 💭 The idea that Iran could generate billions a year is nothing more than wishful thinking. 📊 Let’s look at the hard facts: 🔹 Iran remains under sanctions 🔹 The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is designated as a terrorist organization in the United States and other jurisdictions 🔹 Any payment for passage creates serious legal exposure: → risk of criminal liability → potential charges of financing terrorism → violation of sanctions regimes 🔹 Crypto is not a workaround: → transactions are traceable → additional evidence exists (communications with Iranian counterparts, internal company records, etc.) ⚠️ In short: a payment for the Strait of Hormuz passage is a crime with a clear audit trail Some smaller operators may take the risk. Major carriers will choose not to risk their business, сarriers operating with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the United States, or EU would certainly not take such a risk. 🌊⚓ Let’s also clarify what’s actually happening on the ground - or rather, on the water.

Iran just turned the Strait of Hormuz into a Bitcoin toll booth $1 per barrel ~$20M per day ~280 BTC per day Iran is building a Bitcoin reserve funded by everyone else
