Axios' Barak Ravid pushes back on Iran media claims that he reported a US/Iran deal was imminent and that he profited from market volatility
"This is a Lie! Axios didn't report even onece over the last three weeks that a deal was "imminent". The Iranian regime, its state TV and its Bots and influence accounts on social media are pushing this lie. It's a regime propaganda campaign. Don't fall for it or amplify it"
Context
This pushback from Axios may indicate attempts by Iranian media to manipulate market sentiment amidst ongoing tensions. Any perceived misinformation regarding a US/Iran deal can lead to volatility in oil markets, particularly impacting WTI prices, as traders react to geopolitical narratives rather than fundamentals. Market participants should remain cautious of potential propaganda influencing price movements.
