Be careful sharing other people about crypto

I Know that its good to share, or even post on social media about crypto or even profits, but nowadays this is getting dangerous, as there are people with bad intentions towards people whom they know that has a lot of money in crypto. Maybe this is the reason why some are so hesitant to share info to other people, according to the news an investor kidnaped a man and kept him in his apartment asking for the password of his bitcoin, maybe asking for the bitcoin wallet password i think. So guys let us all be very careful, hope this post will be a lesson to those who flaunts there winnings or profit to social media, that might attract bad people. Things like this is exactly the reason why I always advise cryptocurrency investors to keep their investment secret, because I don't see any reason why a cryptocurrency investor will be posting his or her cryptocurrency investment or profits online for others to see. It look childish because you are exposing your cryptocurrency investment to thefts, scammers and hackers. Let us keep our crypto investment private to ourselves it's not safe out there anymore.

Olumo Rock, one of Nigeria’s most iconic historical tourist sites, was closed for major renovations on April 14, 2025. This initiative, spearheaded by the Ogun State Government and the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Sesan Fagbayi, aims to improve visitor experience, enhance safety, and preserve the site's cultural heritage. In recent years, the launch of the interstate railway connecting Lagos to Abeokuta has led to a notable rise in tourist numbers, now exceeding 20,000 annual visitors. This surge has made it necessary to upgrade the facility significantly.

US strikes did not destroy Iran nuclear programme, says Pentagon assessment

CNN

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.”

“So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.

The White House acknowledged the existence of the assessment but said they disagreed with it.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

The US military has said the operation went as planned and that it was an “overwhelming success.”

It is still early for the US to have a comprehensive picture of the impact of the strikes, and none of the sources described how the DIA assessment compares to the view of other agencies in the intelligence community. The US is continuing to pick up intelligence, including from within Iran as they assess the damage.

Israel had been carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities for days leading up to the US military operation but claimed to need the US’ 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs to finish the job. While US B-2 bombers dropped over a dozen of the bombs on two of the nuclear facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex, the bombs did not fully eliminate the sites’ centrifuges and highly enriched uranium, according to the people familiar with the assessment.

Instead, the impact to all three sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — was largely restricted to aboveground structures, which were severely damaged, the sources said. That includes the sites’ power infrastructure and some of the aboveground facilities used to turn uranium into metal for bomb-making.

Hegseth also told CNN, “Based on everything we have seen — and I’ve seen it all — our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission.“

On Tuesday morning, Trump repeated his belief the damage from the strikes was significant.

“I think it’s been completely demolished,” he said, adding, “Those pilots hit their targets. Those targets were obliterated, and the pilots should be given credit.”

Asked about the possibility of Iran rebuilding its nuclear program, Trump responded, “That place is under rock. That place is demolished.”

While Trump and Hegseth have been bullish about the success of the strikes, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine said Sunday that while the damage assessment was still ongoing it would be “way too early” to comment on whether Iran still retains some nuclear capabilities.

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, the chairman emeritus of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, would not echo Trump’s claims that the Iranian program had been “obliterated” when pressed by CNN on Tuesday.

“I’ve been briefed on this plan in the past, and it was never meant to completely destroy the nuclear facilities, but rather cause significant damage,” McCaul told CNN, referring to the US military plans to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. “But it was always known to be a temporary setback.”

Jeffrey Lewis, a weapons expert and professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies who has closely reviewed commercial satellite imagery of the strike sites, agreed with the assessment that the attacks do not appear to have ended Iran’s nuclear program.

“The ceasefire came without either Israel or the United States being able to destroy several key underground nuclear facilities, including near Natanz, Isfahan and Parchin,” Lewis said, referring to the ceasefire between Israel and Iran that Trump announced on Monday. Parchin is a separate nuclear complex near Tehran.

“These facilities could serve as the basis for the rapid reconstitution of Iran’s nuclear program.”

Earlier on Tuesday, classified briefings for both the House and Senate on the operation were canceled.

The all-Senate briefing has been moved to Thursday, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Two separate sources familiar told CNN the briefing for all House lawmakers has also been postponed. It was not immediately clear why it was delayed or when it would be rescheduled.

Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan of New York said on X on Tuesday that “Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation. The real reason? He claims he destroyed ‘all nuclear facilities and capability;’ his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS.”

As CNN has reported, there have long been questions about whether the US’ bunker-buster bombs, known as Massive Ordnance Penetrators, would be able to fully destroy Iran’s highly fortified nuclear sites that are buried deep underground — particularly at Fordow and Isfahan, Iran’s largest nuclear research complex.

Notably, the US struck Isfahan with Tomahawk missiles launched from a submarine instead of a bunker-buster bomb. That is because there was an understanding that the bomb would likely not successfully penetrate Isfahan’s lower levels, which are buried even deeper than Fordow, one of the sources said.

US officials believe Iran also maintains secret nuclear facilities that were not targeted in the strike and remain operational, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Now Iran has the legal right to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) based on its Article 10, following US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. Article 10 states that an NPT member has “the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country.”

I am sure US and Israel would be rewinding the satellite recordings to see where those trucks could have headed.
If there was (by example) 100 different trucks they have headed to 100 different locations. The Iranians are not dumbs, they know that there are satellites watching, so they will use thousand of tricks and others diversions to bring and store the enriched uranium to hundreds of different places across this huge country. It will be a headache for American intelligence to locate and trace that enriched uranium.

Foreign AffairsSeveral Countries Are Prepared To Directly Supply Iran With Nuclear Weapons by Horus(op): 4:19pm On Jun 22, 2025
Several countries are prepared to directly supply Iran with nuclear weapons

Senior Russian official Dmitry Medvedev has claimed that several countries are prepared to directly supply Iran with nuclear weapons after US recently bombed Iranian nuclear sites.

Senior Russian official Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday claimed that several countries are prepared to directly supply Iran with nuclear weapons, following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

“A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear weapons,” Medvedev, deputy chairperson of Russia’s Security Council, said in a statement posted on Telegram.

His comments came hours after US President Donald Trump announced that American forces had bombed nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The strikes mark the latest escalation in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict.

Medvedev said the targeted facilities appeared to suffer minimal or no significant damage, adding that uranium enrichment and potential nuclear weapons development would likely continue.

Russia says 'majority of countries' oppose US, Israel actions on Iran

He warned that the US is “drawn into” another major conflict, this time “with the prospect of a ground operation,” and argued that the Iranian leadership has emerged politically stronger as a result of the attacks.

“The people are consolidating around the spiritual leadership, and even those who did not sympathise with it,” he said.

He criticised Trump for launching another war despite campaigning as a “peacemaker,” and dismissed any prospects of the US president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

Medvedev also claimed that “the absolute majority of countries” oppose the actions of both the US and Israel.

Hundreds killed in Iran, tens in Israel

The US strikes followed an intensification of Israeli military operations against Iran that began on June 13. Tehran responded with missile attacks on Israeli cities and military sites.

Iran’s Health Ministry said at least 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded in Israeli attacks. Israeli authorities reported 25 dead and several hundred injured from Iranian retaliatory strikes.

Foreign AffairsIran Parliament Approves Closure Of Hormuz Strait by Horus(op): 3:47pm On Jun 22, 2025
Iran Parliament Approves Closure Of Hormuz Strait

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows

Iran is considering closing the key oil shipping route Strait of Hormuz after the US bombed three of its nuclear facilities, Iranian media reported today.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows.

It connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The narrow channel, approximately 33 km wide at the narrowest point, separates Iran (north) from the Arabian Peninsula (south).

But shipping lanes in the waterway are even narrower - 3 km wide in each direction, making them vulnerable to attacks and threats of being shut down, which Iran has decided to do now.
The bulk of oil exports from regional powerhouses - Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, Iran, and Kuwait - must transit this narrow waterway. In the past, it was the West - chiefly the US and Europe - that stood most exposed to disruption in Persian Gulf energy flows, but today it is China and Asia that would bear the brunt of any closure.

For India, the Strait of Hormuz is important as about 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil out of its total import of 5.5 million bpd transits through the narrow waterway.

Having diversified its sources of imports, India, however, is unlikely to lose sleep even if the Strait of Hormuz is shut down as alternative sources from Russia to the US and Brazil are readily available to fill any void, industry officials and analysts said.

Russian oil is logistically detached from the Strait of Hormuz, flowing via the Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, or the Pacific Ocean.

On gas, India's principal supplier Qatar does not use the Strait of Hormuz for supplies. India's other sources of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Australia, Russia and the US would be untouched by any closure.

The heightened tensions in the world's largest energy supply basket would however have a near-term impact on prices, with oil prices likely to jump to $80 per barrel, analysts said.
