Trump-Netanyahu Talks Put Focus on Iran's Missile Stockpile and Uranium Enrichment

US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks on Iran's missile stockpile, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's status, and uranium enrichment at the Pickaxe Mountain facility. Intelligence confirmed that Khamenei remains alive after Operation Rising Lion but has not made a public appearance since.

Iran is estimated to have around 1,500 to 1,600 missiles remaining in its arsenal following US-Israeli strikes on production infrastructure. Meanwhile, there are no signs of active uranium enrichment at the Pickaxe Mountain facility.

The discussions come amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, with oil prices spiking by 5% after Iranian missile launches in late July 2026. Trump has threatened strong retaliatory measures if Iranian attacks continue, including a renewed nuclear deal or ramped-up sanctions.

Crypto traders are watching developments closely as they impact central banks' interest rate decisions and inflation expectations. A potential increase in sanctions could lead to more on-chain activity among sanctioned entities, while a renewed nuclear deal could ease tensions and lower oil prices.
