    Trump's post, machine translation:
    I will soon review the proposal that Iran has just sent us, but I don't think it will be acceptable; because they have not yet paid enough for what they have done to humanity and the world over the past 47 years.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    On Friday, Donald Trump, during a speech in Florida, took a hardline stance against the Iranian regime, emphasizing the need to reach a comprehensive and final agreement. Criticizing weak diplomatic approaches, he stated, "We are not going to leave this half-done only to face the same problems again in three years," and explicitly declared that he is only seeking a solution that completely eradicates the threats.
    Trump noted that "we will finish this the right and principled way," pointing out that if pressures had been applied correctly, this confrontation would have ended in favor of the U.S. by now, and emphasized that he would not allow an incomplete agreement to give the Iranian regime a chance to rebuild.

    Reuters, in an investigative report, has addressed the performance of the cryptocurrency exchange "Nobitex," which is the largest crypto platform in Iran. The report states that this exchange has become one of the key tools for circumventing international sanctions and is owned by the children of Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi.

    On June 18, while the 12-day war between Israel and the Islamic Republic was ongoing, a group called "Predatory Sparrow," which is attributed to Israel, announced the hacking of the "Nobitex" exchange.

    Prior to this, some customers of the exchange reported receiving messages on messaging apps like trading applications and Telegram, warning them to withdraw their assets from the Nobitex exchange.

    According to Reuters, the company was founded in 2018 by two brothers, Ali and Mohammad Kharrazi, who belong to one of the most influential families in the Islamic Republic but have used the alternative surname "Aghamir" for their activities.

    According to American media reports, the White House announced in a letter to Congress that the conflicts with the Islamic Republic have "ended."
    This stance effectively allows Trump to bypass the legal deadline of May 1 for obtaining congressional authorization to continue the war.

    Before sending this letter:
    Today, Friday, marks sixty days since Donald Trump, the President of the United States, officially informed Congress about the attacks against Iran.
    The U.S. and Israel began their attacks on Iran on February 28, and two days later, on March 2, Donald Trump officially notified Congress.
    Under U.S. law, the President is required to "terminate any use of U.S. armed forces" within 60 days of such notification—unless Congress grants permission to continue.
    Mr. Hegst was answering questions from Senate members on Thursday. In response to senators' questions, he said, "We are currently in a ceasefire, and our understanding is that the 60-day clock stops during the ceasefire."
    Democratic Senator Tim Kaine replied, "I do not believe the law supports this. I think the 60 days may end tomorrow, and this will raise an important legal question for the government."

    1. The United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz.

    2. [In Iran] there is a shortage of foreign currency, meaning U.S. dollars.

    3. [In Iran] food and gasoline rationing is in place.

    4. The entire international community is against Iran.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Friday that he is not satisfied with Tehran's latest proposal to end the war and stated that there are two options regarding Iran: an agreement or severe bombing.

    Speaking to reporters in the White House's outdoor area, he said, "There are options. Do we want to go in and bomb them heavily and finish them off for good? Or do we want to try to make a deal? Those are the options."

    Trump also confirmed that on Thursday he received an updated report on military options from the U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM.

    He expressed a preference for not resuming a bombing campaign, explaining, "From a humanitarian standpoint, I would prefer not to do that. But that is the option: Do we want to go in hard and wipe them out completely, or do we want to do something else?"

    The U.S. President also expressed doubt about Tehran's ability to accept an agreement, saying, "They want to reach a deal, but I am not satisfied with it." He reiterated that he is currently "not satisfied with what they have proposed."

    His reference was to a proposal that Iranian media reported was delivered to Pakistan as a mediator for negotiations on Thursday evening. The U.S. President did not specify what in the new Iranian proposal is unacceptable to him and further indicated that Tehran officials may never reach a negotiated solution to end the war.

    Trump pointed to "severe disagreements" among Iranian leaders, stating, "They have made progress, but I am not sure they will ever reach a conclusion." He added, "The leadership (of Iran) is very disorganized. They have two to three groups, maybe even four, and the leadership is very scattered. However, they all want to reach an agreement, but everything is in disarray."

    The U.S. President also noted that negotiations with Tehran are ongoing via "phone." He said, "We are currently doing everything in terms of negotiations, over the phone. They have made progress, but I am not sure if they will ever get there."

    The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control announced separately on Friday that it is sanctioning three Iranian foreign exchange exchanges and their affiliated shell companies as part of the department's efforts to disrupt the financial lifelines of the Iranian government.

    This office states that Iranian exchanges facilitate billions of dollars in currency transactions each year, and since Iran primarily settles its oil sales in yuan, China's currency, these exchanges play a "vital role" in converting oil revenues into currencies that are more usable for Iran's military forces and their partners and proxy forces.

    Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, described Iran as the "head of the global terrorism snake" in a statement and said the department is "acting decisively to cut off the financial lifelines of Iran's military forces" in line with directives from Donald Trump.

    "Hosam Aladdin," a 40-year-old citizen and father of two children, lost his life due to beatings by security forces and the accusation of "owning Starlink satellite internet."

    His body was buried on Wednesday, April 9, 1405, under security measures and with restrictions on information dissemination.

    Reports indicate that Hosam Aladdin, a relative of the owner of Aladdin Mall, was arrested about two weeks ago, and the officers took him to his home for inspection. During the search, after discovering equipment related to Starlink satellite internet and his resistance, the officers severely beat him, leading to his death at the scene. According to informed sources, security agencies concealed the news of his death after the incident and transferred his body to an unknown location. His body was handed over to his family a few days later for burial, after obtaining a commitment from them not to disclose the information.

    The layoffs of workers, which intensified in the last months of 1404 due to economic conditions, have taken on broader dimensions with the onset of 1405, the wartime situation, the severing of trade connections, and the deepening economic crisis.
    In Rasht alone, at least 2,000 workers have become unemployed in the past one to two months, and across the country, the loss of approximately 135,000 jobs, the exit of nearly one million people from the labor market, and the registration of at least 191,000 unemployment insurance requests are signs of a worsening employment crisis and pressure on the livelihoods of the workforce.

    According to the newspaper Etemad, there has been a severe shortage and price increase in the market for diapers and baby formula—considered essential goods for infants.
    Based on this report, the price of domestically produced baby formula has reached at least 350,000 tomans, while the price of each can of foreign baby formula fluctuates between two to four million tomans. Additionally, many brands of baby formula have become rare or scarce.
    A seller at a pharmacy in eastern Tehran, in an interview with Etemad, cited hoarding and the shift from check payments to cash as factors contributing to the price increase.
    In the diaper market, prices have increased by 70 to 100%; for instance, the price of a pack of 20 domestically produced diapers has risen from 104,000 tomans in Bahman to 200,000 tomans.
    Other types of diapers, especially foreign and higher-quality products, are priced between 400,000 to one million tomans, and a type of 50-pack diaper produced in Turkey is priced at around three million and 375,000 tomans.

    The Deputy for International Communications of the Office of the Leadership of the Islamic Republic states that Mojtaba Khamenei "despite the injury he had, is now in complete health." Mohsen Qomi described the comments regarding Mojtaba Khamenei's health as "a trick by the enemy to spread rumors" and said: "The enemy wants to provoke us into reactions with rumors about his health and to advance its conspiracies through these reactions." He claimed that his absence in any form, including audio or video messages, is "only for the sake of preserving his life."

    In explaining the situation of the new leader of the Islamic Republic, Mohsen Qomi also stated that despite "the injury he had, he is in complete health, managing affairs, and handling the negotiations and field issues himself, and recently gave some warnings to the negotiating team."

    The claim of "complete health" comes while The New York Times reported on April 22, citing four Iranian officials, that Mojtaba Khamenei is still undergoing treatment and is awaiting a prosthesis for one of his legs and plastic surgery to repair severe facial injuries caused by burns.

    The permanent representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations responded in a letter to the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council regarding the protest letter from six Arab countries about the attacks.

    Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia recently sent protest letters to the UN Security Council, accusing Iran of violating their territory and calling for condemnation of its attacks.

    In his letter, the permanent representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations stated that these countries "have participated in the aggression against Iran by providing military bases on their territory from which fire and airstrikes against Iran have been launched."

    Amir Saeed Iravani described Iran's attacks on regional countries as "a legitimate right of self-defense" and "a response to aggression," warning that countries he claims "have participated in the aggression against Iran or allowed the use of their bases, airspace, territorial waters, and land for attacks on Iran are responsible and must be held accountable."

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Thursday, April 29, 2026, at the White House: "The Iranian government is very eager to reach an agreement. I don't want to go into too much detail, but if that happens, they should not have nuclear weapons, believe it or not."

    Trump, referring to the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic, added: "Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, and almost all of their equipment has been destroyed." He stated that about 82% of drone factories and nearly 90% of missile factories are out of operation, and many missiles have also been destroyed.

    The President of the United States also discussed the B-2 bomber attack, saying: "If we didn't have that B-2 bomber and didn't take action, we wouldn't have completely destroyed their nuclear capability." He added that this action prevented the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear bomb and that this attack should have happened years ago.

    Trump pointed out the current leadership situation in the Islamic Republic, saying: "Their first-tier leaders are gone, their second-tier leaders are gone, and now we are dealing with third-tier leaders." He described the current state of the Islamic Republic as "very bad" and added that many leaders, along with the military, have been eliminated.

    Regarding the negotiation process, he said: "No one except myself and a few others knows exactly what the negotiations are about." Trump emphasized that the Iranian government is very eager for an agreement, but he considered the lack of clarity in the leadership structure a problem.

    The President of the United States also commented on the Iranian football team's presence in America and the statements of the FIFA president, saying: "Let them play well. Do whatever you want. They probably have a good team."

    Trump stated: "If Iran has nuclear weapons and uses them, then the whole world will be completely different. Then the issue is not just paying a little more for gasoline. Gasoline and oil prices will drop rapidly as soon as the war ends."

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, declared that Iran should not acquire nuclear weapons and that the United States does not need help from other countries for potential action.

    He said from day one, Iran was "finished," and if necessary, the U.S. is fully prepared to act.

    Trump criticized some European countries, saying: "Italy has not helped us at all, and Spain has been completely disastrous."

    He added that the U.S. has helped these countries regarding Ukraine, while according to him, Ukraine has no direct connection to the U.S.

    The President of the United States also criticized Germany, stating that the country is facing immigration, energy, and Ukraine issues.

    He added that one of the German officials criticized him for his approach to Iran, but in response to the question of whether Iran should have nuclear weapons, he answered negatively.

    Trump emphasized: "For this world, for our country, and certainly for Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons." He added that the U.S. military has severely weakened the Islamic Republic.

    The President of the United States also said: "Iran has killed 42,000 people in the past two months—protesters. They killed that wrestler, and his teammates too. He was a world champion in wrestling, a great wrestler, with extraordinary talent. They killed him because he protested. He wasn't wrestling; he was speaking out against the government, and that's why they killed him. They executed him and his friends."

    Regarding the officials of the Islamic Republic, he said: "These are a tough and ruthless group. But we have severely weakened them, and their economy is in a disastrous state. We will see how long they can last. We will see."

    Trump added: "We can fly directly from the middle of Tehran without being shot at because they have no air defense. They have nothing. They are trying to figure out what is going on. But I am going to negotiate, and they are forcing you to negotiate from a position of weakness, not from a position of strength. But the difference is that it doesn't matter to me. And everyone knows the reality. We are destroying that country."

    According to these reports, this former champion passed away on Wednesday afternoon, April 9, 1405 (Persian calendar), due to a heart attack in the United States.

    Abdollah Mohammadi, born on March 20 in Babolsar, was considered one of the geniuses of wrestling in Iran and the world, and with six gold medals from the World Championships and the Olympics, he was one of the most decorated wrestlers in the history of Iran. He is also enshrined in the Hall of Fame of the United World Wrestling and is one of the few wrestlers who has maintained the title of world champion for several consecutive years.

    Before entering wrestling, Mohammadi was active in sports such as swimming and volleyball, and then quickly rose to the top level of this sport under the guidance of prominent wrestling coaches in Tehran. His brilliance began in the mid-1960s and continued with winning the gold medal at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and several world championship titles.

    He was a contemporary of Gholamreza Takhti and is recognized as one of the most technical wrestlers in the history of Iran. Abdollah Mohammadi immigrated to the United States after his championship career ended.

    Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the UK, accused Iran on Thursday, April 29, of attempting to "harm British Jews."

    According to a statement from the UK Prime Minister's Office, he said: "We need stronger powers to counter the sinister threat from countries like Iran, as we know they want to harm British Jews."

    The Prime Minister's remarks came a day after a knife attack on two Jewish men in a street in North London. Mr. Starmer did not provide further details on how Iran is involved in harming Jews in the country.

    Since the war between the US and Israel with Iran, the number of attacks on Jews and their places in the UK has increased. British officials had previously stated that "hostile" countries intend to carry out attacks in the UK through their proxy groups.

    Donald Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social: "The Chancellor of Germany should focus more than anything on ending the war between Russia and Ukraine and less on interfering in the affairs of those who are eliminating the nuclear threat of the Islamic Republic; an action that, according to him, makes the world, including Germany, safer."

    Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, said on Thursday that Iran cannot hold the entire world hostage by blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

    Mr. Merz, during a visit to a military training center, urged Iran to "come to the negotiating table and stop stalling."

    He stated that he has been working to increase pressure through sanctions on Iran during the recent European Council meeting in Cyprus, adding that Iran's military program must come to an end and that there should be no further attacks against Israel or regional partners.

    The recent remarks by the Chancellor of Germany come after criticisms from Donald Trump, the President of the United States, following Merz's statements about Iran. In his latest comments, Mr. Merz emphasized the importance of "reliable transatlantic partnership" without referencing Trump's remarks, stating: "In this particularly turbulent time, we are following a clear compass. This compass continues to point towards a united NATO and a reliable transatlantic partnership." He mentioned that Berlin is "in close and reliable contact with its partners, including and especially with Washington" regarding the consequences of the war in the Middle East.

    According to Axios, citing two informed sources, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to receive a report on new plans for potential military action against the Iranian regime from CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper on Thursday.

    Cooper had previously presented a similar report to Trump on February 26, just two days before the United States and Israel began their war against Iran. One source close to Trump indicated that that meeting influenced his decision to enter the war.

    According to three informed sources, CENTCOM has prepared a plan for a wave of "short and powerful" attacks against the Iranian regime. Another plan expected to be presented to Trump focuses on controlling part of the Strait of Hormuz to reopen it for commercial shipping. One source mentioned that such an operation could also involve ground forces.

    Another option that has been previously discussed and may be considered in this meeting is special forces operations to secure and control high-enriched uranium stockpiles in Iran. Trump told Axios on Wednesday that he views a naval blockade against Iran as "somewhat more effective than bombing."

    Two sources have told Axios that Trump currently sees this blockade as his main leverage, but if Iran continues to resist, he will also consider military action. U.S. military planners are also considering the possibility of retaliatory military action by the Iranian regime against U.S. forces in the region in response to this blockade.

    According to sources, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley is also expected to attend the meeting on Thursday. The White House has not responded to requests for comment.
