Once the admin calls the addBlackList function to add a specific address to the blacklist, all USDT transfers to and from that address are disabled — the balance remains visible but is permanently frozen. This action is typically triggered by law enforcement requests related to money laundering, fraud, or sanctions.

March 14 — A new National Broadcasting Company (NBC) poll shows former President Donald Trump’s support among registered voters has dropped 3 percentage points, falling from 47% in March 2025 to 44%, while his disapproval rating has risen to 54%. The Decision Desk HQ poll average echoes these results: 43.1% approve of Trump, 54.4% disapprove.

March 14 – The US-Iran conflict has entered its 15th day. In the early hours of local time today, Iran again targeted Israel’s mainland and regional US military bases, including a joint strike with Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Iranian political analyst Zaidabadi noted that US President Trump had believed a "devastating blow" to Iran would force its armed forces to surrender immediately. However, the conflict’s duration has outlasted US expectations, while its scale and consequences have exceeded US forecasts. Washington had assumed military force would resolve multiple issues, but Iran refuses to yield to US threats and will continue to assert its deterrence in the Strait of Hormuz.
