President Donald Trump has once again made strong statements regarding Iran, after the United States (US) officially imposed a maritime blockade on all activities of the country on Monday (13/04) local time.

This move immediately triggered global tensions, especially in strategic areas such as the Strait of Hormuz, which has long been a vital route for oil distribution and international trade.

In his statement, Trump emphasized that the US will not allow Iran to pressure the world economically, while claiming that some parties within Iran have begun to open communication for a new agreement.

“Basically, we cannot allow one country to pressure the world for its own interests. However, now, there are signals from their side that they want to seek an agreement,” Trump said.

He mentioned that “the right people” from Iran have contacted his side, indicating a willingness to dialogue despite the still tense geopolitical situation.

“If they continue to refuse regarding nuclear weapons, then there will be no agreement. I am quite confident they will change their minds; if not, these talks are over,” he added.

Amid this situation, the global markets also reacted, including the crypto sector. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has risen to around $74,200, an increase of approximately 4.57% in the last 24 hours.
