Биткоин находится в подвешенном состоянии, так как Иран отрицает проведение переговоров с США по деэскалации конфликта

[kim]

Esmail Baqaei, the spokesman of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, has denied that the country has held any talks with the US regarding a ceasefire.

He added that Iran remains adamant on its conditions to end the war, including an Iran-led Strait of Hormuz governance, US disarmament and closure of US military bases, damage compensation, a 100% guarantee of no future wars, and the end of hostility from US-aligned media.

Bitcoin consolidation following geopolitical uncertainty

Iranian officials have also confirmed that they have not responded to messages about negotiating with the US for a détente. These messages are said to have come from “friendly” countries such as Turkey, Oman and Egypt.

Differently, US President Donald Trump had signalled a defusion of the US-Iran crisis, citing “productive” talks with Iran. He also said the country would have joint control of the Strait of Hormuz, in addition to collaborating with “whoever the next Ayatollah is.”

News of the pause in hostilities saw the price of oil drop from just above $100/barrel to $89.43/barrel at writing time.
