Iranian-Americans are irate at President Donald Trump for delivering a "loss that can't be undone" during the recent bombing campaign. Early Saturday morning, U.S. and Israeli forces coordinated more than 100 bombing strikes across Iran, a campaign that killed dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple high-ranking military and political leaders, according to reports. The campaign also destroyed cultural sites such as Tehran's Grand Bazaar, which has operated for more than 500 years, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Golestan Palace, according to the National Iranian American Council. NIAC President Jamal Abdi told Raw Story in a statement that it's clear Trump's decision to bomb Iran will not "deliver security or freedom" for the Iranian people. "There was a diplomatic path that could have addressed U.S. security interests without this catastrophic loss of life," Abdi said. "That path was rejected, and the Iranian people, American troops, and the entire region are now paying the price. And seemingly, our President couldn’t care less, and will continue to bend to the whims of a foreign rogue actor." One of the most galling aspects of the bombing campaign was that a primary school in Minab was one of the first targets struck, which killed dozens of school children. The attacks have also given Iran's brutal regime "pretext" to continue cracking down on the people Trump expects to rise up and form a new government, NIAC warned. "Inside Iran, a nationwide internet blackout is now in effect, and senior officials have issued new threats against any expression of dissent," the organization said. "Leading Iranian human rights voices like Narges Mohammadi remain imprisoned, raising the alarm about the safety of additional political prisoners like those in Evin, both from Iranian government execution and foreign strikes."

President Donald Trump had a searing response Tuesday to the banking industry, saying that banks were trying to "undermine" controversial legislation he has touted. Trump has pushed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins, also known as the GENIUS Act. The bill seeks to create a legal framework for stablecoins, or digital assets whose value is tied to a physical asset like fiat currency or gold. It has support from the crypto industry, which considers the bill an important step toward mainstreaming digital assets.Trump attacked banks, calling them out and claiming that if the United States doesn't act quickly to pass the cryptocurrency bill, China would benefit and make America less competitive. Negotiations between the White House and the crypto and banking industry were underway, with representatives weighing in over the bill's language, according to CoinDesk.He shared the following on his Truth Social platform:"The Genius Act is being threatened and undermined by the Banks, and that is unacceptable — We are not going to allow it. The U.S. needs to get Market Structure done, ASAP. Americans should earn more money on their money. The Banks are hitting record profits, and we are not going to allow them to undermine our powerful Crypto Agenda that will end up going to China, and other Countries if we don’t get The Clarity Act taken care of. The Genius Act was the U.S.A.’s first big step to make the United States the Crypto Capital of the World, and getting The Clarity Act done is the next step to finish the job and, most importantly, keep this big and powerful Industry in our Country. The Banks should not be trying to undercut The Genius Act, or hold The Clarity Act hostage. They need to make a good deal with the Crypto Industry because that’s what’s in best interest of the American People. This Industry cannot be taken from the People of America when it is so close to becoming truly successful. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
