On April 28, a senior military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader questioned the United States' ability to block the country's oil exports. Military advisor Rezaei stated, "No country has the power to block Iran's oil exports. I suggest that the U.S. President focus on addressing the widespread chaos within the U.S. government, economy, and armed forces, rather than making empty boasts." Last week, the U.S. Central Command announced that as part of the blockade operations, U.S. military forces had redirected 30 vessels.

Trump Expresses Discontent with Iran's Proposal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
On April 28, several individuals familiar with the internal discussions in the White House Situation Room revealed that President Trump has informed his aides that he does not accept Iran's latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end hostilities. According to officials from both the U.S. and Iran familiar with the negotiation details, the proposal also demands that the U.S. lift its maritime blockade while deliberately sidelining issues related to Iran's nuclear program. Iran has repeatedly rejected U.S. demands to suspend its nuclear program and surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The specific reasons for Trump's dissatisfaction with the proposal remain unclear, but he has consistently taken a hardline stance, stating that he will never allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. A U.S. official admitted that accepting the proposal could prevent Trump from achieving a political victory. (Dongxin News Agency) -
U.S. Senate Has Approximately 9 to 10 Working Weeks Left to Advance the Clarity Act as August Deadline Approaches
On April 28, as revisions to the Clarity Act are expected to take place in May, the cryptocurrency industry is calculating how much time is left to pass comprehensive market structure legislation through a shrinking legislative window. "We have about 13 weeks left in the Senate, and we need to get some things done," said Ji Kim, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, in an interview with Crypto In America, emphasizing what many in Washington see as the real deadline: getting the bill to President Trump’s desk before the August recess, when lawmakers will shift their focus to the midterm elections. Although Kim mentioned there are about 13 weeks remaining, the actual time window is tighter. Once the recess is factored in, the Senate effectively has only 9 to 10 working weeks to advance the bill, as legislators also have to deal with a busy agenda that includes the upcoming Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) deadline, initiating budget resolution mediation, and passing the Department of Homeland Security funding bill. However, first, the bill must pass through the Senate Banking Committee, where it has been stalled since January due to the failure to secure key industry support, delaying the initial revisions. The hoped-for April revisions are now out of reach, as Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) requested more time from Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) to propose a compromise on stablecoin yields and incentives to the banking industry. "For me, the most important thing is not to rush the process, to hear from everyone, and to provide a rational basis for what we accept and do not accept," Tillis told reporters last week. -
White House Cryptocurrency Advisor Hints at Major Announcement on Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in Coming Weeks
On April 28, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets, previewed a significant announcement regarding Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserve in the coming weeks at the Bitcoin 2026 conference. Witt stated that since Trump signed the executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve last year, the team has been researching relevant mechanisms and legal interpretations to ensure that digital assets (especially Bitcoin) on the government's balance sheet are properly protected and consolidated. Meanwhile, lawmakers are pushing to codify Trump's executive action. The BITCOIN Act, reintroduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich, has been renamed the 'U.S. Reserve Modernization Act,' which includes provisions to acquire one million Bitcoins over five years through a 'budget-neutral strategy.' -
