American musician G.Love loses 5.92 BTC due to malicious Ledger app, funds have been moved to exchange
April 12: Philadelphia musician G.Love said he accidentally downloaded a malicious counterfeit app from the Apple App Store while switching computers and reconfiguring his Ledger crypto wallet—resulting in the theft of roughly 5.92 Bitcoin in a short time.
On-chain detective ZachXBT later noted he’d traced the stolen funds’ flow, revealing the assets were routed through a CEX deposit address. ZachXBT also criticized the Apple App Store’s review process, arguing the platform’s allowance of fake apps to be listed exacerbates risks to users’ asset security.

Iranian Official: U.S. Should Have Understood That Diplomacy Is Not a Stage for Commanding
April 12 — Ali Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly, said Thursday that the U.S. should have learned from the 40-day war that outcomes depend on a country’s people’s will and battlefield advantage, not empty social media rhetoric. He added the U.S. will also grasp that diplomacy is a forum for respect, interaction and embracing reality — not for issuing orders. (CCTV News)

Analysis: US-Iran Negotiations Focus on Three Key Sticking Points, with Hormuz Dispute at the Forefront
On April 12, The New York Times reported that current U.S.-Iran negotiations face three key sticking points: the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, uranium enrichment, and the unfreezing of Iran’s overseas assets.
### Strait of Hormuz
Iran has rejected the U.S.-proposed "joint control" plan for the Strait of Hormuz, insisting it retain control of the waterway and claiming the right to charge "transit fees" to passing vessels. Tehran says it will only consider reopening arrangements after a final bilateral peace agreement is reached.
By contrast, the U.S. holds a starkly different stance. President Trump said on April 10 that the Strait of Hormuz is international waters, adding the strait will be reopened "soon" regardless of "Iranian cooperation"—and that he will not permit Iran to charge transit fees.
### Nuclear Issue
The U.S. is demanding Iran hand over its entire stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium (roughly 900 pounds). Tehran has offered a counterproposal,

Iran Responds to Trump: Blocking Iran Cannot ‘Open’ the Strait of Hormuz
April 12 – Xinhua reported that U.S. President Trump retweeted a social media post on April 12 referencing a "naval blockade" against Iran. Iran’s embassy in Austria responded the same day, noting that a blockade cannot "open" the Strait of Hormuz.
"Here’s a simple point for anyone asking: A blockade is a blockade—it doesn’t 'open' the Strait, only restricts it. The only way out of this self-created bind is to keep negotiations open and flexible, and follow reason."
Per monitoring from PolyBeats (via https://t.me/PolyBeats_Bot), the probability that the Strait of Hormuz will remain navigable by month’s end has dropped from 35% (before U.S.-Iran talks) to 17% on the prediction market Polymarket.

Polymarket Link Briefly Surfaces on Google News, Then Gets Removed; Google Attributes it to Error Push
Reports emerged on April 12 that prediction market Polymarket’s link briefly appeared in Google News search results alongside mainstream outlets like Reuters and The Guardian—only to be quickly removed.
A Google spokesperson later clarified the appearance was an “error,” adding the platform will no longer show up in the news box. Previously, when users searched for event-focused prediction queries (e.g., “Will the ship transit the Strait of Hormuz?”), Polymarket’s entry would display directly below traditional news outlets.
Both Polymarket and rival Kalshi have recently ramped up media-platform integration efforts. Google partnered with both last year to add their data to Google Finance. Additionally, X (formerly Twitter) announced in June 2023 that Polymarket is its official prediction market partner. Crypto wallets MetaMask and Worldcoin’s World App have also integrated Polymarket’s app.
