On April 19, Cointelegraph reported that Iran has designated Bitcoin for paying oil transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz. However, sources indicate that the majority of transactions are still settled using stablecoins. According to previous reports from BlockBeats on April 8, the Financial Times stated that during a two-week ceasefire, Iran would require shipping companies to pay transit fees for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) to maintain control over the waterway. Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for the Iranian Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Exporters Union, stated that each tanker must email Iranian authorities with its cargo information, after which Iran will inform them of the required fee, which must be paid in cryptocurrency. 'Once the email is received and Iran completes its assessment, the ship will have a few seconds to make the payment in Bitcoin, ensuring it cannot be tracked or seized due to sanctions.'

On April 19, The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump seems to have lost his 'spirit of adventure,' while his sense of fear grows daily. Previously, in the nearly empty West Wing of the White House, Trump learned that an American fighter jet had been shot down in Iran, and shortly after two pilots went missing, he raged at his aides for hours. He repeatedly said, 'The Europeans haven't helped at all.' According to those who have spoken with him, images from the 1979 Iran hostage crisis have been haunting him. After the American pilots were rescued, the once-arrogant president made a desperate attempt to weaken Iran's strongest leverage—its control over the Strait of Hormuz. At that time, Trump tweeted, 'Open the strait, you madmen.' This president, who has always been keen on creating dramatic scenes, applied his unorthodox and extreme style in an even more extreme manner to a potential war. He sometimes adopts a belligerent stance, while at other times he employs a conciliatory strategy, all the while pondering how far the situation might escalate. He fears ordering troops into dangerous areas, leading to injuries and some not returning home, similar to the experiences of other presidents who have faced war.
