Bitcoin’s relative price stability has also withstood recent comments from US President Donald Trump, who reportedly refuted previous claims that the country could launch an attack against Iran, similar to what happened with Venezuela last week.
The information was made public earlier today and came from Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, who also claimed that President Trump had asked Iran not to target U.S. assets.
President Trump says he will not attack Iran
President Donald Trump has told Iran he does not want war and will not attack Iran, according to Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan. He also urged Iran not to target U.S. assets.
Trump later softened his tone and said the violence was stopping.

President Trump’s latest comments come after he indicated yesterday that Iran had no plans to execute protesters, after it was reported that “the killings have stopped in Iran.”
The death toll in the country has exceeded 2,400 in the latest crackdown by local authorities in response to nationwide protests, according to data from human rights groups.
A joint statement by G7 members released earlier today said all countries were “gravely concerned” by developments in Asia and strongly opposed the “intensification of brutal repression by the Iranian authorities against the Iranian people.”
