April 20 – Three U.S. and regional diplomatic sources told *The Times of Israel* on April 20 local time that Iran has agreed to transfer all of its enriched uranium, though it remains unclear who will receive the material. Possible recipients include: - Russia, which has offered to take it; - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which would need to find another location for storage and processing; - Or the U.S. The U.S. has asked to participate in the enriched uranium relocation effort, but Iran has not yet agreed — only planning to allow IAEA staff to take part.

I often point out Bitcoin is the largest decentralized asset, while BNB is the largest centralized asset. A small allocation to these makes sense.” She also emphasized risk management for those entering crypto with an eye toward risk: “Don’t be reckless, but always understand the stakes of your choices—are they a ‘revolving door’ or a ‘one-way door’?

April 20 — The power struggle within the Pentagon is escalating as the Trump administration pushes military reshaping, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll clashing publicly over personnel appointments and authority boundaries. Driscoll publicly backed ousted Army Chief of Staff Randy George at a congressional hearing — a move seen as a direct challenge to Hegseth.
