April 5 (Xinhua) — Iranian Armed Forces Hatam Anbia Central Headquarters Commander Abdollahi responded Thursday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum, emphasizing the Iranian military will firmly defend the country’s rights, protect its assets, and make aggressors pay a price. Iran’s Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported later that day that Abdollahi accused Trump of taking “helpless, frantic, unbalanced and stupid actions” after a string of failures, in an attempt to threaten Iran’s infrastructure and national assets. Abdollahi stressed that if the U.S. and Israel carry out such attacks, “we will relentlessly launch sustained, devastating strikes against all U.S. military and Israeli infrastructure.” He warned the U.S. and Israel that “we have followed through on everything we have said” since the start of this imposed war on Iran.

On April 5, U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham posted on social media: "Just had a great chat with President Trump. I fully back his ultimatum to the Iranian regime—demand they open the Strait of Hormuz and strike a peace deal. If Iran makes the wrong call, they’ll face a large-scale military operation. That regime’s already taken a huge hit from U.S. military actions."

On April 4th, Michael Saylor tweeted: “Bitcoin has won. There’s global consensus that BTC is digital capital. Its four-year cycle has ended—price is now driven by capital flows. Banks and digital credit will shape Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. The biggest risk? A bad idea leading to a protocol change by fiat.”
