In the Al Jazeera liveblog, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei was quoted as rejecting any transfer of enriched uranium to the United States and dismissing U.S. statements on Hormuz as contradictory.<\/p>\n<p>Even before that,\u00a0Tasnim reported on April 15\u00a0that Baghaei was still defending enrichment as a non-negotiable sovereign right.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still a big gap between what traders are hoping for and what\u2019s actually been agreed to. Friday\u2019s rally made sense as a relief move: an open Strait of Hormuz means less immediate risk for oil.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s a stretch to say the big issues, like uranium, compensation, or the Lebanon ceasefire, are anywhere close to settled. That gap is hard to ignore. Trump said the American blockade on Iranian ships and ports will stay in place until Tehran reaches a deal with Washington, including on its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>So while the Strait might be open for some ships, the bigger restrictions haven\u2019t gone anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the real setup as we head into the weekend. Oil finished lower, stocks hit new highs, and investors felt bolder, but the story behind those moves is still shaky.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen optimism turn into doubt more than once during this conflict. The question now is whether this latest rally can actually last.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__media\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bitcoin-tariff-trump-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin flash crashes below $65,000 in delayed reaction to more Trump tariff hikes during low weekend liquidity\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bitcoin-tariff-trump-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin flash crashes below $65,000 in delayed reaction to more Trump tariff hikes during low weekend liquidity\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\"> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Bitcoin flash crashes below $65,000 in delayed reaction to more Trump tariff hikes during low weekend liquidity<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cs-article-embed__summary\">Bitcoin price stalls today because Trump just bypassed the Supreme Court with a 15% tariff spike.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-item\">Feb 22, 2026<\/span> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-divider\">\u00b7<\/span> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-item\">Liam &#8216;Akiba&#8217; Wright<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Shipping and oil have improved, but they have not normalized<\/h2>\n<p>The physical market is still flashing caution.\u00a0Back on April 11, CENTCOM said U.S. forces were preparing for mine-clearing in the strait, with more equipment and underwater drones on the way.<\/p>\n<p>If traders really thought the Strait was back to normal, they wouldn\u2019t still be glued to live mine-clearing updates, with shipping firms still cautious of crossing.<\/p>\n<p>The last ceasefire window showed just how slow the shipping recovery can be. Only five ships made it through on Wednesday and seven on Thursday, while more than 600 vessels, including 325 tankers, were still stuck in the Gulf. Daily passage was still just 10 to 15 ships, far below the 120 to 140 before the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s late reality check didn\u2019t really change that picture. Kpler still saw ship movement\u00a0limited to approval-based corridors on Friday evening, hours after the full reopening claims, and warned that getting back to normal could take months, not weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Maersk had already said in its own update that even with ceasefire news, there\u2019s no guarantee of smooth sailing. Every transit decision is still a judgment call.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Friday\u2019s oil drop made sense, but also why it\u2019s fragile.\u00a0U.S. crude closed at $82.59 and Brent at $90.38,\u00a0a big turnaround from the stress earlier this month.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-69e2b75c61b6f\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\">CryptoSlate Daily Brief<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">Daily signals, zero noise.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__copy\">Market-moving headlines and context delivered every morning in one tight read.<\/p>\n<p> <span><i class=\"fa-regular fa-bolt\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> 5-minute digest<\/span> <span><i class=\"fa-regular fa-star\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> 100k+ readers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__form-shell\">\n<p class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__privacy\">Free.

If Iran\u2019s pushback grows from denial into a visible collapse in talks, or if the Lebanon ceasefire starts to fray and undermines the political basis for opening Hormuz, then the market will have to rethink the oil risk premium it just removed.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin would then be trading alone through the weekend as the first broad risk proxy available to price that gap is easing.
