Donald Trump said the U.S. will not rush into a new agreement with Iran, despite earlier optimism around negotiations. Trump also confirmed that restrictions on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz will remain until a final deal is reached. The comments highlight ongoing tensions over sanctions, frozen assets, and Iran’s nuclear program. Despite the geopolitical uncertainty, Bitcoin held near $77,000 while Ethereum stayed above $2,100, showing crypto markets remained relatively stable after the update.
