India has moved to curb speculative bets against the rupee, taking one of its most forceful steps in over a decade as the cost of defending the currency rises.
Late Friday, the Reserve Bank of India announced new rules capping the open positions banks can hold in the onshore currency market at $100 million at the end of each trading day. The change, effective April 10, forces lenders to shrink their books, limiting their ability to run large one-sided bets against the rupee.
At least three Chinese-linked vessels reportedly turned back abruptly after attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz last Friday, signaling an unusual move in typically friendly Tehran‑Beijing relations amid the ongoing regional crisis.
Two ships owned by China’s state‑run Cosco Shipping, the CSCL Indian Ocean and CSCL Arctic Ocean, as well as Hong Kong-owned Lotus Rising made sudden U‑turns near Larak Island, according to ship‑tracking service MarineTraffic and research group FDD. The narrow channel has repeatedly been described as Iran’s de facto "toll booth," with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, allowing passage only for authorized vessels.
This was the first attempted outbound transit by major Cosco container ships since tensions in the Strait of Hormuz began on Feb. 28, triggering disruptions to 20% of the world’s oil supply.
The ships reportedly violated Iranian rules banning traffic to and from countries considered supportive of the United States and Israel, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, according to an IRGC statement cited by IRGC-affiliated outlet Nour News.

"Three container ships of different nationalities attempted to move towards the designated corridor for licensed ships, which were forced to return after being warned by the IRGC Navy," the outlet said Friday afternoon.
"Sailing of any ship ‘to and from’ the ports of the allies and supporters of the Zionist-American enemies to any destination and from any corridor is prohibited," it added.

It is not immediately clear why the vessels halted their transit, but the Cosco ships have reportedly visited ports in enemy countries considered hostile since mid-February, including Jebel Ali in Dubai; Dammam in Saudi Arabia; and Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, according to maritime outlet Lloyd’s List.
Analysts noted that the ships may have lacked proper paperwork or authorization to transit the Strait of Hormuz, and safe passage could not be guaranteed, the outlet added.

The incident highlights a gap between Iran’s earlier diplomatic assurances that China and other friendly nations, including Russia and India, could coordinate safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The CSCL Indian Ocean and CSCL Arctic Ocean had also broadcast messages on their identification systems signaling that they had Chinese owners and crew as a precautionary move to signal friendliness to Iran, Reuters reported, but the effort was apparently deemed insufficient by Iranian authorities at the checkpoint.
United States President Donald Trump told reporters that Iran had already gone through two regime changes, noting that the third regime is "very reasonable."
"The one regime was decimated, destroyed they're all dead, the next regime is mostly dead, and the third regime we're dealing with different people than everybody has dealt with before, it's a whole different group of people," Trump said.
"I would consider that regime change, and frankly, they've been very reasonable," he added.
United States President Donald Trump said Tehran "gave" Washington "most" of the 15 demands it sent over as requirements for ending the war.
"They came back on the 15-point plan. They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn't they?," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
"They're agreeing with us on the plan. We asked for 15 things, and we're going to be asking for a couple of other things," Trump said, without revealing what concessions Iran made.
Uncle Sam needs you to help crush the billion-dollar financial fraud gangs.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is launching a new program on Monday that will reward tipsters with up to 30% of the fines imposed on criminals who are trying to bleed US taxpayers dry, The Post has learned.
The program includes tips for Medicaid and Medicare rip-offs — and given that fraud in those two programs tops some $70 billion per year according to one estimate, whistleblowers could be in for some big payouts.
Other forms of financial crimes are also included.
The move comes after Bessent visited Minnesota in January, which had become ground zero for a sprawling web of scams by Somali immigrants, who allegedly ripped off government welfare programs to the tune of at least $9 billion since 2018.
The payments will come directly from fines, rather than having the American taxpayers foot the bill, according to confidential Treasury documents obtained by The Post.
“Individuals located in the United States or abroad who provide information may be eligible for awards if the information they provide leads to a successful enforcement action that results in monetary penalties exceeding $1,000,000,” one of the documents reads.
It would mirror a similar scheme run by the Internal Revenue Service, which is also overseen by the Treasury Department.

The 63-year-old former hedge fund mogul’s idea is to pay informants 10-30% of the proceeds when criminals are slapped with fines of more than $1 million.
The Treasury Department’s move also follows an executive order signed by President Trump in March 2025 that vowed a government-wide zero-tolerance approach to such fraud.
Vice President JD Vance on Friday held the inaugural meeting of a new anti-fraud task force he’s leading — as the administration moves to crack down on abuse of social programs.
A memo obtained by The Post reveals that Bessent will also put US banks on high alert, warning that sophisticated fraudsters are even recruiting foreign nationals to steal from federal social programs.
Federal investigators are already probing how Somali scammers in Minnesota set up fake autism clinics, phony food distribution sites, and ghost housing services, using “straw owners” to funnel taxpayer cash into overseas real estate — and even allegedly to Islamist terror networks like Al-Shabaab.
“Our citizens have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters,” one Treasury official briefed on the matter told The Post.
One Minnesota scam, involving a group called Feeding Our Future, saw $250 million bilked from funds meant to provide food to hungry kids.
Except for the ring-leader, nearly everyone involved is of Somali descent.
The Treasury’s top cops in charge of following dirty money, known as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, will issue an advisory on Monday telling lenders “to be vigilant in identifying and reporting suspicious transactions potentially related to healthcare fraud schemes.”
Financial institutions must file what is known as a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) under the Bank Secrecy Act with the elite unit whenever there is a suspected case of money laundering or fraud.

Any attempts to hide, move, or clean stolen cash violate this country’s main anti-money laundering law.
The leaked advisory, effectively an early warning system for US banks, lays out how crooks steal patient IDs through bribes and identity theft, flood the system with bogus claims for ghost treatments.
The proceeds are then “washed” through wire transfers and crypto, or spent on luxury items.
“Fraud, including health care fraud and government benefits fraud, also continues to be one of the largest sources of illicit proceeds in the United States,” the document to be published on Monday reads, adding that “health care fraud has increased significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The Treasury Department also warns that failure to stamp out bogus healthcare claims eventually leaves hardworking Americans footing the bill.
“These schemes threaten the integrity of both the US health care and financial systems, impose enormous costs on taxpayers, waste critical resources for beneficiaries of these programs, and increase the cost of health care in the United States,” the 18-page missive states.
The rip-off starts with “straw owners,” often using immigrants or the stolen identities of retired doctors, who create phony shell companies that pretend to be legit suppliers of wheelchairs, home health care, lab tests, drugs, or adult day care.

Tactics include billing for ghost services that were never delivered, slapping charges on medical junk patients don’t need, or “upcoding” cheaper procedures to look like expensive treatment.
“This is often facilitated by paying kickbacks and bribes through recruiters and marketers to complicit doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other medical professionals for fraudulent, non-existent, exploitative, or unnecessary medical care,” the advisory reads.
Once the government pays out, the scammers wire the money overseas — making it harder for the feds to recover, according to the same source.
Operation Gold Rush took down Russian-backed fraudsters who allegedly purchased legitimate medical supply companies to submit fake claims for durable medical equipment, stole identities, and ripped off Medicare.DOJ
Last year, the Justice Department brought criminal charges against 324 defendants for alleged participation in a $10 billion health care fraud.
It was part of Operation Gold Rush, the largest such bust in history, that took down a Russian-banked crime syndicate that allegedly purchased legitimate medical supply companies to submit fake claims for durable medical equipment, stole identities, and ripped off Medicare.
Medicaid and Medicare fraud costs at least an estimated $68.7 billion each year, according to a 2022 study conducted by the Colorado State University Global White Collar Crime Task Force.
The Justice Department has alleged that $10 billion in fraudulent claims were filed while transnational criminal organizations received $941 million from Medicare and Medicaid supplemental insurers.DOJ
The confidential Treasury warning to banks raises as many as 24 “red flags” for financial institutions to watch for, including claims logged by someone without permanent residence in the US, sudden spikes in billing from newly established medical companies, or making huge transfers to companies overseas just after a direct deposit from the government clears.
While not legally binding, ignoring an advisory is highly dangerous for a bank’s regulatory standing, which can trigger reputation-shredding probes and penalties.
Treasury hit New York-based investment bank Canaccord Genuity with a record $80 million civil fine just three weeks ago for failing to monitor suspicious trading.
Investigators said that between 2019 and 2022, Canaccord failed to file at least 160 suspicious activity reports covering thousands of questionable transactions, with some activity that deserved “red flags” going unreviewed for months or years.
The allegations were unrelated to healthcare fraud, butfocused on a Cyprus-based firm that spent years helping Russian oligarchs move money out of Russia.
