Iran and the United States held a 21-hour high-level meeting in Pakistan, but no agreement was reached. Meanwhile, a military standoff erupted in the Strait of Hormuz: the U.S. military claimed its destroyer was "routinely" passing through the strait and carrying out "mine-clearing" missions; Iran denied the U.S. ship's passage, asserting full control over the strait and warning it could sink the U.S. vessel within 30 minutes. Both sides stuck to their narratives, bringing the control of this global energy chokepoint to the forefront.
The deadlock in negotiations mainly centered around core disagreements over nuclear programs, missiles, and regional influence, with no breakthroughs. Reopening the strait is seen by the U.S. as a prerequisite for a ceasefire, but Iran continues to enforce regulations and collect fees, sparking U.S. impatience. Currently, the volume of traffic through the strait is extremely low, and any accidental clash could instantly disrupt global energy supplies and financial markets, also testing Bitcoin's "safe haven" or "risk asset" status once again.
Following news of the failed talks, the crypto market responded with a decline: Bitcoin at $71,627, down 1.66% in 24 hours; Ethereum at $2,214, down 0.97%; BNB at $593, down 2.13%. Market sentiment has become more cautious. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战
