🚨 U.S. & Iran Nearing Agreement? White House Says “Never Been Closer” 🤝
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on April 20 that the U.S. and Iran are on the verge of a deal — the closest they’ve ever been to a “truly beneficial” agreement.
She gave no specifics on negotiations but stressed: even without a deal, President Trump has “multiple options” and “is not afraid to use them.” Past actions show he’s not bluffing.
This comes amid a fragile two-week ceasefire and ongoing talks, with the deadline looming.
Market Angle:
• De-escalation hopes could ease geopolitical premium → potential pullback in oil prices (Brent/WTI already softening).
• Risk-on boost possible for equities and crypto (BTC often rebounds on reduced Middle East tension).
