Can MicroStrategy (STRC) resume Bitcoin purchases? STRC falls again in US pre-market trading

Senior Iranian sources have revealed that Qatar and Pakistan, serving as mediators, have informed Iran that the United States is prepared to negotiate and strike a deal, and is serious about advancing this process. The sources added that Iran, for its part, is ready to resume implementing the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding within days, provided the US returns to the memorandum and honors its terms. However, Iran is demanding tangible and credible guarantees to ensure it will not face further attacks. Once the US implements the substantive provisions of the memorandum—including halting hostilities, lifting the blockade against Iran, and allowing Iran to export oil—Iran will immediately launch negotiations on nuclear issues and sanctions relief. Iran has reached a consensus with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz, but stressed that "Iran will not reopen the strait as long as the blockade remains in place and no agreement is reached with the US," according to the sources.
