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.
BREAKING: Iran has completely ruled out any future negotiations with the Trump administration, declaring it will wait out Donald Trump's term until January 20, 2029, per Iranian outlets and Ghalibaf advisor's post.
"Trump will not reach an agreement with us. We will accompany him until his term ends," said Majid Shakeri, advisor to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf.
He posted: "The path to victory is neither fighting nor a deal — it is managing the process of neither war nor peace, up to the point of victory. Publicly confirming negotiations with the U.S. is sheer folly. The winning approach is denial, ambiguity, and strategic patience."
Iran's conditions remain unchanged: $300 billion in compensation, release of frozen assets, and withdrawal of U.S. forces. Until then, the Strait stays closed.
The reason why last night was historic is that an inflection point has now undeniably been reached:
For years, it was clear that supporting AIPAC's positions was bad policy for the US. Yet, it was "good" politics because it kept lawmakers safe in their seats.
No more. The anomaly has been defeated: Bad policy is now also bad politics.
Going forward, more and more lawmakers will internalize that supporting AIPAC and being endorsed by AIPAC is bad for you. It's bad policy and bad politics.
