In a tweet, Trump stated that the agreement we are negotiating with Iran will be far better than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) (the Iran nuclear deal). The latter, drafted by Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden, is one of the worst security agreements in the history of our country. It was a guaranteed path to nuclear weapons—something the agreement we are negotiating will not and cannot allow. They (the previous administration) loaded $1.7 billion in cash onto Boeing 757s and sent it to Iran, allowing the Iranian leadership to spend it as they pleased. They emptied banks in Washington, Virginia, and Maryland. Those bankers said they had never seen anything like it. In addition, hundreds of billions of dollars were paid to Iran. If I hadn't terminated that "agreement," nuclear weapons would have been used to attack Israel and various parts of the Middle East, including our cherished U.S. military bases. An agreement reached during Trump's term will guarantee peace, security, and safeguards, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but also for Europe, the United States, and everywhere else. This will be something the whole world can be proud of, instead of the years of embarrassment and humiliation we have been forced to endure due to incompetent and cowardly leadership, as we have done for many years.

Mantle has issued a statement regarding the 'KelpDAO rsETH attack incident,' confirming the security of its network and collaborating with Aave and related protocols on a recovery plan. According to Foresight News, Mantle's underlying network, official bridge, and core assets remain completely secure. LayerZero has verified that the vulnerability is confined to KelpDAO's rsETH configuration, with no impact on other assets or applications. The attacker did not interact with Mantle contracts or markets. Recent localized liquidity pressures are attributed to third-party cross-chain vulnerability spillover effects, not issues with Mantle's infrastructure. Protective suspension measures are still in place and will be lifted when deemed appropriate; since April 18, funds have been steadily returning to the Mantle ecosystem. On-chain data shows that core USD assets have seen repayments totaling approximately $204 million within 48 hours, with liquidity conditions continuing to normalize. Mantle is actively communicating with the Aave team and affected protocols to coordinate recovery plans, including potential treasury involvement.

On-chain investigator ZachXBT has reported that funds linked to the KelpDAO attack are being moved. According to Odaily, approximately $1.5 million has been transferred from the Ethereum mainnet to the Bitcoin network via Thorchain, while another $78,000 has been moved using Umbra. The initial source of these funds was Tornado Cash, and the laundering and cross-chain transfers are still ongoing.
