Tehran Says "No Deal" Until Tanks Leave Town; $BTC Hovers Near $64K Like It's Watching Paint Dry 🎨

Iran has rejected negotiations with the United States until American forces retreat from their current positions, according to a report by Iranian outlet Fars, which cited a source close to the negotiating team. The statement directly contradicts recent claims by U.S. President Trump that Iran had requested a resumption of talks and that Washington had agreed, despite the prior ceasefire having expired.

Fars also reported that Iran denied ever seeking to restart negotiations with the United States. The exchange leaves the timeline for any deal to formally end the long-running U.S.–Iran conflict unresolved, with both sides publicly diverging on whether talks are even taking place.

Bitcoin ($BTC) was trading flat at around $64,000 as the diplomatic stalemate persisted, showing little movement in either direction amid the geopolitical uncertainty. No escalation or de-escalation in rhetoric was reported beyond the Iranian source's denial and the Fars statement that negotiations remain conditional on a U.S. withdrawal from its positions.

The Fars report did not specify which positions must be vacated or set a timeline for any potential retreat, leaving the diplomatic path forward undefined. The Bitcoin price cited reflects spot trading levels reported at the time of publication and was not accompanied by any official commentary from Iranian or U.S. officials regarding digital assets.
