Islamabad, Pakistan – Standing on the South Lawn of the White House before boarding his helicopter for Las Vegas on Thursday, United States President Donald Trump offered his most optimistic assessment yet of the war with Iran
“We’re very close to making a deal with Iran,” he told reporters. “They’ve totally agreed to that [no nuclear weapons]. They’ve agreed to almost everything, so maybe if they can get to the table, there’s a difference
He went further, saying Iran had agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, material that, if further enriched, can be used to build a nuclear weapon
They’ve agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that’s way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers,” he said, referring to US strikes in June last year.
deal, he added, could come “over the weekend”. Trump said he would consider travelling to Islamabad himself if an agreement was signed there. “If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go. They want me to go
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented a different picture. Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that messages were being exchanged through Pakistan, but was unequivocal on enrichment
Iran, he said, “based on its needs, must be able to continue enrichment”. No Iranian official has confirmed agreeing to surrender the country’s enriched uranium stockpile. Tehran’s public position, that enrichment is a sovereign right, remains unchanged.
Asif Durrani, a former Pakistani diplomat who served as Islamabad’s ambassador to Tehran from 2016 to 2018, said framing the situation as a gap between the two sides was misleading
“There are no gaps, really. If Trump has read the NPT, he would know that every country has the right to access nuclear technology for peaceful purposes,” he told Al Jazeera. “Iran has said multiple times that it does not want a weapon. What it wants is civil nuclear use, within the framework of both the NPT and the JCPOA
Durrani attributed the shift to changing realities on the ground.
The US was dictated to by Israel. It was Israel that pushed the US into this war,” he said.
“But now Israel has had a shock, and the US has also come to realise that it all comes down to the endurance of your opponent. Iran has demonstrated that endurance, it has shown it can sustain the pain,” the former envoy said.
He added that despite its military power, the US was unwilling to deploy ground troops. “That kind of staying power is not something you find on the US and Israeli side.”
The April 22 deadline now looms over the process.
Speaking in Las Vegas on Thursday evening, Trump said the war was going “swimmingly” and would “end pretty soon”, adding that talks could resume “over the weekend”.
Whether a second round materialises in Islamabad, and what minimum understanding the two sides might accept, remains unclear
Khan said any agreement may hinge on deliberate ambiguity.
“Both sides need a ‘win’ on the nuclear issue, and something they can sell to their respective public,” she said.

BTC is up 10% for the month, but the bull run has stalled near $75,000 in the past 48 hours. Here's why.
It is evident from an on-chain indicator called realized profit/loss, which tracks the total dollar value of gains or losses locked in by holders when they move their coins on-chain. The indicator compares the current price at which coins are being moved with the price at which they last moved (the assumed acquisition cost), effectively showing whether investors are selling at a profit or a loss.
Values above 1 indicate increased profit-taking, and the 30-day exponential moving average (EMA) is currently well above that threshold. The EMA is used to smooth out day-to-day noise and highlight the broader trend in realized profits.
Profit-taking activity is rising, with the 30D EMA of the Realized Profit/Loss Ratio at 1.16, indicating investors are selling into strength. A sustained move above $78.1K will require the market to absorb this overhead supply," analytics firm Glassnode said in a report.
Profit-taking was particularly strong on Tuesday as Bitcoin briefly climbed toward $76,000 before quickly slipping back below $75,000. According to CryptoQuant, investors realized about $1.14 billion in profits during the move, one of the largest single-day readings this year.
The indicator, though widely tracked, has limitations, mainly that it assumes coins moving on-chain are being sold. In reality, they may simply be moving between wallets or exchanges for custody, rebalancing, or internal transfers
That said, the latest profit-taking signal aligns with other indicators, such as the cumulative volume delta, suggesting demand is concentrated on specific exchanges while activity remains weaker elsewhere
The CVD is a measure of who is more aggressive in the market. It shows whether the market is being driven more by buyers demanding liquidity or by sellers hitting bids.
So far, buyers have been aggressive mainly on Binance, but not so much on Coinbase or other exchanges, according to Glassnode
Vikram Subburaj, CEO of India-based FIU-registered exchange Giottus, echoed the view, saying sentiment is improving, but conviction is still not yet fully established
Funding rates remain slightly negative, showing that traders are still cautious and not yet leaning aggressively long. On-chain activity has slowed down. This suggests the market is consolidating, not overheating," he said.
Further, bitcoin options trading on Deribit continues to show a bias for put options across all time frames. It indicates lingering downside fears and demand for protection offered by puts
Taken together, profit-taking pressure, uneven spot demand, and cautious derivatives positioning all indicate that buyers are absorbing supply but not yet overwhelming

A woman who was secretly filmed in her own home has said the experience has "taken over her life" and left her feeling unsafe
Lucy Domaille, from Guernsey, has waived her anonymity as the victim of a sexual offence to speak publicly about the impact voyeurism has had on her and her family
I don't sleep," she said. "Every noise, every time the door opens, you just feel like someone is watching you 24/7
It's taken over my life completely. It's consumed my mind."
In October last year, Guernsey Police told Lucy she had been the victim of voyeurism
A man she had known socially for about 25 years had secretly filmed her getting out of the shower at her home, through a gap in her curtains as he crouched outside her window.
For Lucy, the incident has occupied her every waking thought since
She said: "I'm just not the same person. It's soul-destroying, it's torturous
When you go home, that is supposed to be the place that you feel safe, and I've lost that completely," she explained.
It has also stripped her of her safety.
I'm obsessed. I don't sleep... I have lost all of that."
Lucy was walking round a supermarket when her husband called her to tell her two plain clothes officers were at their home and asking to speak to her.
She later learned she had been a victim of Kirk Bishop, whose crimes she had first seen reported in a social media post by Guernsey Police the previous month.
She said the "emotional trauma" of it meant she was "not the same person - I don't think I ever will be".
As a mother of two young children, she said it had also changed the way she interacted with them at home.
She said: "Sometimes a child gets out of a bath and they'll run down the hallway to their bedroom with no clothes on. I don't want that now.
They've taken away my children's innocence. I'm constantly making sure they're covered."
If you are changing a law based on a crime that someone has committed, surely they should be punished in line with that?" she said.
Bishop is due to be sentenced on 15 May.
Lucy concluded: "One of the best things about Guernsey was that you felt safe. I've lost all of that."

Islamabad, Pakistan – On April 11, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shook hands with United States Vice President JD Vance, guiding him to a seat for talks on the sidelines of the highest-level direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
At almost the same time, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense made a very different announcement.
In a statement carried by the state-owned Saudi Press Agency, Riyadh confirmed the arrival of a Pakistani military force at King Abdulaziz Air Base in the kingdom’s Eastern Province under the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) signed last year.
The statement said the deployment included fighter and support aircraft from the Pakistan Air Force, aimed at strengthening joint military coordination and raising operational readiness between the two countries.
In the two days that have passed since then, Pakistan’s government has made no official statement about the development. The military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Ministry of Information, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to requests for comment sent by Al Jazeera
The Saudi announcement immediately underscored Pakistan’s delicate juggling act in the middle of a war that has destabilised the global economy, led to attacks and deaths in multiple countries and has now led to a high-stakes escalation between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
On the one hand, Islamabad has been a central mediator between the US and Iran, hosting their teams last Saturday, and driving attempts to get them to continue with talks after the breakdown in their negotiations.
On the other hand, the SMDA represents a commitment from Pakistan to militarily assist a key ally that was repeatedly hit by Iran before the ceasefire – with Tehran offering no guarantees it will not strike Saudi Arabia or other Gulf nations again.
For now, Pakistani officials said, they can manage both roles.
A Pakistani official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Islamabad remains committed to facilitating the process for as many rounds as required, adding that diplomatic contact between all sides continues.
Sharif is expected to travel to Saudi Arabia in the coming days, with visits to other regional countries, including Turkiye, also likely as Islamabad seeks to sustain diplomatic momentum before the ceasefire deadline
But with a US naval blockade of Iranian ports now in effect and the ceasefire Islamabad brokered between Washington and Tehran set to expire on April 22, Pakistan’s balancing act could become more complicated.
A day before the Islamabad talks opened, Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jadaan made a brief visit to Islamabad, calling on PM Sharif at the prime minister’s House. Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir were also present
According to an official statement, Sharif expressed appreciation for Riyadh’s “longstanding economic and financial support” to Pakistan, which he said had played a vital role in stabilising the country’s economy
The visit underscored the breadth of the Pakistan-Saudi relationship, spanning defence, diplomacy and finance
The SMDA was signed on September 17, 2025, at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Sharif, with Munir also in attendance. It commits both countries to treating any act of aggression against one as an act against
Pakistan’s position on the agreement has remained consistent.
Addressing the Senate on March 3, three days after the war began, Dar said plainly that Pakistan had a defence pact with Saudi Arabia “and the whole world knows about it
He added that he had personally conveyed Pakistan’s obligations under the pact to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, making clear what the agreement entailed.
Sharif similarly pledged that Pakistan would stand by the kingdom and its people
What remains unclear is under what specific conditions either Pakistan or Saudi Arabia are expected to come to the other’s defence. Would one of them need to declare that they are at war with another country? Would either of them need to specifically request the other to join a military intervention? Has Saudi Arabia so far refrained from formally asking Pakistan to come to its defence
Analysts say the steps taken so far by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to demonstrate that the SMDA is in operation are aimed at sending clear messages to other countries – even as the ambiguity over the specific contents of the deal itself serves as a deterrent. An enemy of Saudi Arabia, for instance, will not know exactly when it will also need to contend with Pakistan’s military
To be clear, Pakistan’s military presence in the Arab world is longstanding. Pakistani pilots flew for Arab air forces during the 1967 Six-Day War, and Pakistani forces have been deployed across the Middle East in various roles since the 1960s
In Saudi Arabia, Pakistan has trained thousands of military personnel since 1967. A formal agreement in 1982 institutionalised the deployment of Pakistani armed forces personnel for training purposes
During the 1970s and 1980s, Pakistani troops were stationed in significant numbers in the kingdom, including to protect oil infrastructure in the Eastern Province, the same region where the current deployment is based
Still, the SMDA is the first pact that formally commits Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to treating an attack on one as an attack on the other
A second call followed on April 13, focusing on regional developments and the outcome of the Islamabad talks.
Analysts say the continued contact suggests both sides have an interest in keeping communication lines open, regardless of military positioning.
Iranian scepticism of Pakistan, if any, can at least be offset by the certainty that Pakistan will prioritise the stability of the region over other interests,” Cheema said.

Bernstein has called a Bitcoin bottom and set a $450 price target on Strategy stock, 226% above Monday’s closing price of $138.20. The call comes from analyst Gautam Chhugani at a firm managing nearly $880 billion in assets, which means this is not a retail sentiment spike. It is institutional research drawing a line in the sand on the BTC-equity trade.
Bitcoin peaked at $126,210 on October 6, 2025. A flash crash on October 10, triggered by leveraged liquidations, initiated the correction, compounded by late February 2026 U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, and Bitcoin still held a floor near $71,000.
Chhugani frames the 44% drawdown as evidence of maturation, not breakdown: institutional demand absorbed the selling pressure that, in prior cycles, would have driven 70–80% wipeouts.
The ETF data reinforces the case. Bitcoin ETFs recorded $2.2 billion in net inflows over the four weeks preceding Bernstein’s note, reversing year-to-date outflows and pushing the net 2026 figure to positive $364 million against a $90 billion asset base.
ETFs now hold 6.1% of the total Bitcoin supply. That is a structural bid, not a momentum trade, and it is exactly the kind of price floor institutional demand analysis has pointed toward throughout this correction cycle.
Bernstein’s year-end Bitcoin target is $150,000, contingent on sustained institutional buying through mid-2026 amid geopolitical headwinds. The bottom call is not a chart pattern. It is a capital flows argument.
Strategy holds 762,099 BTC, acquired most recently with a 1,031 BTC purchase last week, valued at approximately $51.43 billion.
Total balance sheet Bitcoin and cash stands at $56 billion against $18 billion in total debt, per Bernstein. Cash reserves alone cover annual dividend and interest obligations for 25 months. The Bitcoin position covers annual financing costs for approximately 50 years.
The leverage mechanism is straightforward: Strategy stock amplifies Bitcoin moves because each share represents a claim on a BTC treasury that grows as the company raises capital and buys more coin.
At $138.20, Bernstein’s $450 target prices in a Bitcoin recovery toward the $150,000 level while assigning value to the capital-raising machine itself — the $42 billion raise split between Class A common stock and perpetual preferred shares, with $6.24 billion in ATM program capacity still available across a 19-agent sales syndicate.
The STRC preferred share launched in July 2025, paying an 11.5% annual dividend monthly. Thirty-day average daily STRC volume hit $220 million, up 65% over three months, making it the most liquid preferred product in its category. Strategy is down 57% over six months and 59% over twelve months, reflecting dilution concerns from ongoing equity raises.
The stock has recovered 10.9% over the past month. Bernstein is betting the dilution discount is already priced in.
