#USToCancelIranAttackSubjectToDeal
The U.S. has paused a planned military strike on Iran, with President Donald Trump saying the attack will remain on hold if a deal can be reached quickly. Trump said the decision followed discussions with regional allies and is tied to negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has not publicly confirmed that a final agreement has been reached.
Markets are closely watching developments, as any progress toward a diplomatic solution could reduce geopolitical tensions and ease concerns over global energy supplies. However, officials have indicated that military options remain available if negotiations fail. #IranIsraelConflict

Bitcoin slipped below $64K on Friday, falling more than 1% in a few hours amid a sudden spike in oil prices. The selling pressure comes as the US and Israel started considering a potential land blockade of Iran to intensify economic pressure amid recent escalations in the US-Iran war.
US and Israel Consider Land Blockade on Iran
The U.S. and Israel are discussing the possibility of imposing a land blockade on Iran to increase economic pressure after military actions failed to force Iran to negotiate, The Telegraph reported on July 31.
The proposal would involve diplomatic pushes on neighboring countries such as Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to restrict or close border crossings. This would also require limiting Iran’s imports and exports.
The idea comes after recent discussions between US President Donald Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on both military and non-military options amid a naval blockade.
Meanwhile, Iran strikes two oil tankers attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC claimed, “the targeted tankers did not respond to Iranian warnings.” Iranian armed forces: “The Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED, and any passage will be possible only in coordination with Iranian naval forces.
While the US and Israel seek ways to block Iran, IRGC-backed Yemeni Houthis and Iraq-based PMF military could increase challenges. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is reportedly preparing a major offensive against the Houthis by sea and possibly by land.
Earlier today, President Trump announced Hamas agreed to completely disarm itself and Gaza will be “in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its people.”

In one of the most closely watched geopolitical developments, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a mixed message on Iran, combining a renewed call for diplomacy with strong military warnings that immediately caught the attention of global markets.
Speaking on July 28, Trump said "now is a good time" for Iran to reach an agreement with the United States, expressing hope that military action targeting Iranian infrastructure—including bridges and power plants—could be avoided through diplomacy.
However, the conciliatory tone was paired with a stark warning.
Trump stated that if negotiations fail, the United States could "very easily" shut down the Strait of Hormuz, adding that only ships permitted by the U.S. would be able to pass through the strategically vital waterway. He also reiterated that Iran must formally declare it does not possess nuclear weapons before any agreement can move forward.
Why the Strait of Hormuz Matters
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical energy corridors, with a significant share of global oil exports passing through it every day.
Any threat to shipping in the region has the potential to disrupt global energy supplies, push oil prices higher, and trigger increased volatility across financial markets.
Markets React
Following Trump's remarks, traders closely monitored both traditional and digital asset markets.
Oil prices reacted to concerns over possible supply disruptions.Bitcoin and the broader crypto market also experienced increased attention, as investors weighed geopolitical risk alongside expectations for inflation and global liquidity.
While some investors view Bitcoin as a potential hedge during periods of uncertainty, market reactions remain complex and can vary depending on broader economic conditions.
What Comes Next?
The latest comments highlight the delicate balance between diplomacy and deterrence in U.S.–Iran relations.
Whether Trump's remarks lead to renewed negotiations or increased geopolitical tensions will likely depend on how both Washington and Tehran respond in the coming days.
For now, global markets remain focused on every headline, knowing that developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz could have far-reaching consequences for energy prices, financial markets, and the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The coming days may prove pivotal—not only for U.S.–Iran relations, but for the direction of global markets as investors navigate one of the world's most sensitive geopolitical flashpoints.

The US president, Donald Trump, said Washington is holding talks with Tehran and may not need to carry out the "massive" attack he had threatened, although he warned that American forces remain "ready to act," according to Al Jazeera. $DEXE
Trump said Iran shows greater seriousness in the negotiations, but that it is not yet ready to reach an agreement. He added that he is willing to listen, reiterating that Tehran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

$DEXE Brent oil surged above $100 per barrel on Thursday after Iran-backed Houthi rebels opened a second front in the Middle East conflict by attacking Saudi ships in the Red Sea. The move lifted U.S. Treasury 10-year bond yields to their highest level since January 2025, around 4.7%, amid fears of persistent inflation.
Energy markets exposed to the two chokepoints— the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea—face the most direct impacts. Analysts say the new and surprising condition imposed by Trump on the civil Saudi nuclear energy deal adds another layer of uncertainty for assets tied to Saudi Arabia.
