Trump: May Hit Iran Harder, But Will Wait to See If Deal Can Be Reached
**May 21, Local Wednesday — U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday indicated the U.S. could launch a more aggressive strike against Iran, though he will first evaluate whether a diplomatic agreement is feasible. The comments extend his longstanding "either-or" approach that has shaped his Iran policy since announcing a ceasefire six weeks ago.**
"We have hit them very hard," Trump said in remarks Wednesday. "We may have to hit them harder—but maybe not. We will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. It’s that simple. Iran’s military is essentially destroyed: their navy is gone, their air force is gone, almost everything else too. The only question now is: will the U.S. return to totally decimate them, or will Iran sign an agreement? We’ll have to wait and see."
Earlier Wednesday, Trump also noted that negotiations with Iran have entered the final phase, while warning the U.S. will conduct additional military strikes unless Iran finalizes an accord related to its nuclear program

Analysis: Bitcoin Touches 200-day Moving Average Resistance Before Reversing, Bearish Trend Still Intact
May 21st: CryptoQuant analysts noted Bitcoin reversed course after hitting resistance at its 200-day moving average, with its current trajectory mirroring the peak seen in March 2022. Back then, Bitcoin rallied 43% before hitting the 200-day moving average, then resumed its downtrend. Now that Bitcoin has broken above $80,000, overall demand has shifted into contraction mode. Speculative demand in perpetual futures flipped sharply; spot demand is shrinking at a faster pace; U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have also shifted to weekly net selling; and 30-day demand growth has dropped to a near-one-month low.
The lack of demand from U.S. investors has further amplified bearish sentiment. The Coinbase Bitcoin premium remained negative throughout the entire recent rally and pullback period, signaling U.S. institutional and retail buyers are still in a risk-off stance. The bull market score has fallen from 40 to 20, entering an extremely bearish territory—consistent with the deep bear market reading

The Trump Gold T1 Phone Exposes User Data
On May 20th, Trump Mobile was hit by a major user data breach that exposed customers’ email addresses, mailing addresses, and other personal data. The compromised information remains accessible online as of now.
Per community feedback, buyers of the Trump Gold T1 phone received alerts from security researchers notifying them that their personal details are part of the leaked dataset. The leaked content covers nearly all basic identity information, with the only exception being credit card numbers.
Trump Mobile officials have so far stayed silent to both the media and affected customers. This lack of response further amplifies external doubts about the company’s product delivery capabilities and fundamental security standards.
The Trump Gold T1 project has been controversial since its launch last year. It originally promised to be “Made in America”, but later rebranded as “American Values Designed”. There have also been widespread suspicions that the phone is a rebranded older
