After conflicting reports about the Iran war, investors remained cautious, causing Bitcoin to slightly decline. According to Reuters, Iran's Supreme Leader ordered that close to weapons-grade uranium be kept within the country, but other media later reported denials. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that there were some "positive signs" suggesting that the US could reach an agreement with Iran. However, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated, "We will never back down in negotiations." Data from the London Stock Exchange Group shows that Bitcoin fell by 0.4% to $77,310.
