BREAKING: Iran has publically accused Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff of severe market manipulation, alleging they timed military actions and diplomatic signals around stock market hours for insider profit, and is calling on Congress to investigate, per PBS.
In a PBS interview, IRGC senior adviser Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Naqdi alleged that the administration launches military operations after market close and issues market-positive statements before market open, while insiders trade on that information. He said the administration is working for its own enrichment, not the country's.
Naqdi called for a congressional investigation comparing the pre- and post-war financial positions of Trump, his family, and his close associates, explicitly naming Kushner and Witkoff. This follows Iran's earlier claim of $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by individuals close to Trump and a formal demand for $4.5 billion.
The accusations align with concerns already raised by U.S. lawmakers and analysts over suspicious trading patterns tied to Iran war announcements. Tehran is now making the case at the highest level.

First known US case: American charged for using a “duress” password
Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, is being prosecuted for allegedly giving border agents a passcode that wiped his phone.
The feature comes from GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android OS. Entering the duress code triggers a full factory reset.
This is believed to be the first time federal prosecutors have brought such charges.
The incident happened in January 2025 at Atlanta airport. Agents demanded access to his phone without a warrant, saying he hadn’t yet officially entered the US. When they entered the code, the phone wiped itself.
Tunick has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers argue the seizure was unlawful and that agents were investigating his activism against “Cop City.”
The case raises big questions about digital rights at the US border.
What do you think?

Hasan Piker should sue Dave Rubin for defamation immediately. I was never harassed by Has, sexually or otherwise.
This huckster is literally making up sexual harassment allegations and pretending to speak on my behalf just to defame Has. It’s sick.
every zionist cruelly mocking activists “go to gaza” “go to gaza” and when people try they get abducted in international waters then raped and tortured in tel aviv.
LSU wasn’t named after the animal "Tigers."
They are actually named after the “Louisiana Tigers”, a particularly brutal brigade of rebel soldiers in the Civil War who also slaughtered hundreds of freed black men in the New Orleans Massacre 1866.
