The US has informed Iran it completely rejects Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz and the move towards tolling ships crossing it.

UPDATE

The ship Iran claims “ran aground” has been stuck since March in Iranian territorial waters, between Iran’s coast and Hormuz Island, not in the Strait.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 If you thought US President Donald Trump’s interests do not overlap with those of Iran’s government, think again.

A Reuters investigation has found overlapping use of major blockchain networks linking businesses tied to Iran and crypto ventures associated with the family of Donald Trump.

The report focuses on how Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, has moved billions of dollars through widely used blockchain systems such as Tron and BNB Chain, while those same networks are supported by figures and companies connected to Trump-linked crypto ventures.

The findings highlight how decentralised financial infrastructure can be used simultaneously by state-linked entities under sanctions and
commercial crypto projects.

The report notes that individuals and firms connected to major crypto ecosystems, including Tron founder Justin Sun and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, have also been involved in supporting crypto projects linked to Trump family ventures.

Zhao was convicted in US of money laundering in 2023 and Binance was also ordered to pay $4.3 billion settlement to US government. But enforcement against him was dropped by SEC in 2025, as Trump came back to power. Zhao also served a brief sentence of 4 months of imprisonment but was personally pardoned by Trump in October 2025.

Should crypto networks:

A) Be allowed to operate by way of business as usual;

B) Face stricter oversight, especially when they intersect with sanctioned economies, money laundering, terrorism financing, and politically exposed figures;

C) Other?

Iranian foreign ministry officials continue to deny that technical talks with the U.S. in Doha, Qatar set for tomorrow are set in stone, but have instead signaled that if they do take place, the unfreezing of funds and other key points of contention will be the topic of discussion.

@POTUS and @SecRubio have to realize how one sided this is. Iran absolutely not taking any responsibility for the group they fund, arm and train.

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson:

Our position regarding Lebanon is clear. America's commitment to ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon, is important to us, according to paragraph one of the memorandum of understanding

America must adhere to its commitments and, if necessary, force the Zionist regime to implement its commitments, because the Islamic Republic of Iran's side in this memorandum of understanding is America.

Whatever is agreed upon or not, outside of this memorandum, our criterion for measuring America's adherence to its commitments is the text of the memorandum of understanding.'

Qatari Foreign Ministry: as of now, no development has occurred that would permit the release of the frozen Iranian funds.

[Austin Brown @AustinBrow39897]

@Osint613 In my opinion his time would be better spent immediately replenishing/expanding the Strategic oil reserves now in case Iran decides to escalate the strait again and escalate things regionally as they have a history of, but I guess making comments on social media is priority.

In my opinion.. @POTUS and his cabinet is now seen world wide as a spineless cartel and not deserving of veteran benefits if they have had them in the past or any humanitarian awards.from the middle east. We used to live by De Opressor Libre but now the world questions.
