Trump: America is also demanding compensation from Iran 💢Donald Trump's new post on Truth Social: ▫️I see representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran demanding compensation for the damages they suffered during the five-month military conflict (which began because they would not have nuclear weapons), when this issue was never raised in any of our negotiations or meetings! ▫️But this idea is interesting, because now I, in turn, am demanding compensation from Iran, for all the people they have killed and severely injured with their roadside bombs and the many conflicts for which they are famous! ▫️The conflicts initially led by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole and the thousands of others who have died in the fighting. ▫️In addition, compensation must be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters that Iran has killed over the past 50 years, let alone the 52,000 who have been killed in the past five months. ▫️I have instructed my representatives to firmly include this issue in any future negotiations. Thank you for your attention to this issue! President Donald J. Trump

sometime these 3 simple lines can rule the world

South Africa is set to impose strict regulations on the transfer of #Bitcoin and other digital assets abroad. Under the regulations, cross-border transfers will be subject to certain limits and exchanges will be required to report these transactions. The key point here is that the main focus of this monitoring will be on the purchase of #Bitcoin from exchanges. From the moment someone purchases #Bitcoin from a verified exchange, the government knows the connection between their identity and a public address. From then on, even if they transfer the #Bitcoin to their personal wallet, they may still be required to declare their ownership and transfer to the government in accordance with the law. It is not unlikely that more countries will move towards this level of monitoring of digital assets in the future. For this reason, learning independent methods for acquiring and storing #Bitcoin has become more important than ever.
