  "account": "Iranian parliament member Mohseni-Sani declared the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) no longer binding on Iran, leading to a rise in oil prices from $96 to $110 per barrel over eight days. Gold initially fell to $4,319 an ounce, but the dollar's strength and rising real yields overshadowed this safe-haven demand. Bitcoin closed at $77,231 on September 12, 2026, with the VIX at 18, indicating markets treated the lawmaker's remark as noise until a formal NPT withdrawal is filed. The Iranian lawmaker's statement holds weight only if it is followed by actual withdrawal, which would trigger a UN Security Council session and potentially hasten further Israeli or US action against Iran's enrichment sites. Until then, the statement remains a talking point until the next round of strikes drives oil prices higher.",
