Iranian media outlets have strongly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump over his recent statements suggesting that a peace agreement between Washington and Tehran is close to being finalized. According to reports from Iran, officials have rejected those claims and insist that no final agreement has been reached between the two sides.
Iran Rejects Reports of a Finalized Agreement
Iranian publication The Hormuz Letter reported that authorities in Tehran have dismissed suggestions that a peace deal with the United States has been completed. Citing information from Fars News Agency, the report stated that Iran has not agreed to any formal signing ceremony and has also rejected proposals for a face-to-face meeting or conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
Iranian officials described reports of a completed agreement as a misunderstanding of American proposals and expectations. They emphasized that negotiations remain unresolved and that no final deal has been approved.
Trump Signals Progress in Iran Negotiations
The controversy intensified after President Trump announced that discussions with Iran had achieved significant progress. He revealed that planned military action against Iran had been suspended due to positive developments in diplomatic talks.
In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump stated that scheduled military strikes had been canceled because negotiations were moving forward. He also claimed that talks had reached the highest levels of Iran’s leadership and suggested that key elements of a potential agreement had already received preliminary approval.
According to Trump, the main concepts and detailed provisions of the discussions had been accepted by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and other stakeholders.
Allegations of Market Manipulation Ahead of SpaceX IPO
However, The Hormuz Letter publicly challenged those statements, arguing that reports of a finalized deal are inaccurate. In a post on X, the outlet claimed that assertions about an agreement, including Trump’s remarks, were designed to influence financial markets ahead of SpaceX’s highly anticipated stock market debut.
The publication reiterated that Iranian authorities have explicitly denied reaching any final agreement with the United States.
Impact on Markets and Investor Sentiment
Trump’s comments regarding improving relations with Iran were generally viewed as positive by financial markets. Reduced geopolitical tensions often boost investor confidence, and following the announcement, Bitcoin recovered from recent weakness and climbed above $63,000.
Market participants interpreted the news as a signal of lower geopolitical risk, which contributed to stronger sentiment across risk assets. The optimism also added momentum to excitement surrounding SpaceX’s public listing, potentially fueling the accusations made by Iranian media.
SpaceX Set for Historic Nasdaq Debut
SpaceX is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq on June 12 after pricing its initial public offering at $135 per share. The company is offering approximately 555.6 million shares, resulting in a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion.
Meanwhile, Coinbase’s pre-IPO perpetual futures market has been pricing SpaceX shares near $176, representing a premium of around 30% compared to the official IPO price. This strong demand highlights the significant investor enthusiasm surrounding Elon Musk’s aerospace company ahead of its market debut.
