[Geopolitical News Update] Trump issues tough new statement on Iran nuclear issue, oil prices and market volatility rise

1. Key Event

On April 29, 2026, early morning Eastern Time, former U.S. President Trump posted on Truth Social, directly stating that Iran "completely doesn't understand how to sign a non-nuclear agreement," and accompanying the post with an image implying "no longer the nice guy," demanding Tehran to "wake up as soon as possible."

2. Policy Background and Market Impact

Previously, Trump instructed his team to prepare for a long-term economic blockade plan, aiming to pressure Iran into concessions by cutting off oil revenue. Although military options are temporarily on hold, rhetorical pressure continues. Due to shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz, international oil prices remain above $100 per barrel, oscillating at high levels, with geopolitical risk premiums supporting global inflation expectations.

3. Cryptocurrency Market Correlation

Ongoing geopolitical tensions and high oil prices generally boost volatility in safe-haven assets and alternative assets. Close attention should be paid to the sensitivity of mainstream assets to headlines regarding Middle East developments. $BTC $ETH $DOGE
