ON 15 January 2021, an exclusive piece of news was shared by yahoo news that someone made a simultaneous transfer of 28.15 bitcoins, which worth more than 500,000 US dollars, to 22 different virtual wallets on December 8, 2020, a month before the Capitol Hill invasion by extremist Trump supporters. US law enforcing agencies and cryptocurrency researchers suspect that these donations are linked to the January 6 assault on the US Capitol Hill. Chainalysis, which maintains a repository of information about public cryptocurrency exchanges and whose tools aid in government, law enforcement and private sector investigations, revealed that prominent US right-wing websites received these generous donations from a bitcoin account linked to a French cryptocurrency exchange.

‘IRAN can easily enrich uranium to 40, 60 or even 90 per cent,’ claimed Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran. Earlier, Tehran reported that it was able to enrich uranium to 20 per cent at the Fordow facility. However, it is 90 per cent uranium that is needed to create nuclear weapons. As for the 20 per cent uranium, Tehran reported that it is to be used to produce radioactive medicines and also as fuel for a nuclear reactor. The nuclear deal that a number of countries have signed with Iran involves enriching uranium at just 3.67 per cent, but the US has grossly violated the deal by withdrawing from it and imposing a series of harsh sanctions against the sovereign nation, including a ban on foreign exports of coronavirus vaccines.
