The Financial Times of the United Kingdom reported on March 30 that shortly before the United States and Israel launched a military strike against Iran, an investment broker for U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin attempted to invest a large sum of money into a defense-related fund. Due to the sensitive timing and Austin’s identity, this news sparked suspicions of “insider trading,” potentially prompting investigations by relevant authorities. The Pentagon dismissed it as “nonsense” and demanded the media retract the article. (Xinhua News Agency)
