Trump: Agrees to negotiate with Iran, but declares that the ceasefire agreement is already over!

U.S. President Donald Trump earlier confirmed via a social media post that, while he agreed to continue “negotiations” with Iran, he also took a hardline stance with the message that “the ceasefire agreement is over.” (Background: U.S. military raids Iran at night! 2 fishermen shot and killed; Trump raged, “If they steal-attack the boat again, I’ll hit them harder.”) (Additional context: Trump said this could be another bombing of Iran tonight. The Russia-Ukraine war is “not over yet,” and the core is nuclear weapons.)

U.S. President Donald Trump earlier released a new statement on his own social platform Truth Social, taking a tough stance on the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, sparking high alert in the markets.

Trump: The ceasefire agreement is over

In the post, Trump explicitly said: “The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘negotiations.’ We agree to do so, but the United States has made it crystal clear to them that the ceasefire agreement is over (the Cease Fire is OVER)! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

These remarks show that although the U.S. keeps a window for diplomatic dialogue with Iran, it has fully canceled the previous ceasefire commitments in both the military and sanctions dimensions. This will undoubtedly reignite the powder keg in the Middle East.

Risk of hitting global risk assets and the crypto market

The rapid deterioration of the situation in the Middle East typically quickly boosts demand for traditional safe-haven assets such as international crude oil prices and gold. For risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and U.S. equities, the rise in geopolitical risk could trigger sharp market swings and a wave of sell-offs in the short term.

Investors should closely monitor subsequent military developments in the Middle East, and whether this geopolitical storm will push up inflation expectations, thereby affecting the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) future path for interest-rate policy.
