The news states that the United States is considering a $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran.

Foresight News reports, according to the Associated Press, that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated in parliament that a crypto company with Russian background, Zondacrypto, had financed the campaign of current President Karol Nawrocki and sponsored last year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in Poland. Tusk claimed that the company’s funds involved the Russian mafia “Bratva” and Russian intelligence agencies. Tusk believes that Nawrocki vetoed crypto asset market regulatory bills twice in the past six months, allegedly to protect Zondacrypto’s interests. The company was a strategic sponsor of the CPAC event scheduled for March 2025, and former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem supported Nawrocki’s campaign at the conference. In response, the presidential office said that Nawrocki is not opposed to regulation, but considers the regulatory model proposed by the government to be flawed. Currently, the Polish government is attempting to introduce new regulations to bring the country’s crypto market in line with EU standards.

According to CNBC, the escalation of conflict in Iran has prompted U.S. technology companies to intensify lobbying efforts to address risks related to asset security, supply chain disruptions, and infrastructure damage in the Middle East. Sources revealed that companies are in communication with officials from the White House and the Pentagon, pushing for policy support and developing contingency plans. In March this year, an Amazon Web Services data center in the UAE was attacked by drones, and in April, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened to target companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Google. Restrictions on helium exports may impact AI and data center construction. The U.S. government stated it is working closely with the industry to mitigate the impact. Analysts noted that the core concerns of technology companies have shifted to asset security and operational stability.
