During his address to the nation on Saturday night, U.S. President Donald Trump stated, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been totally and completely obliterated.”
Trump also remarked, “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”
Concurrently, Bitcoin’s price fell below the significant $100,000 threshold on June 22 as market reactions played out against the backdrop of rising tensions between Iran and Israel.
According to The Kobeissi Letter, the market does not appear to be pricing a prolonged conflict, labeling the current situation as potentially a “short-lived war.”
On Monday afternoon, Iran confirmed that it had undertaken missile strikes against Al-Udeid, a U.S. military base located in Qatar.
A spokesman from the Kremlin conveyed on Monday that Russia is prepared to support Iran amid the escalating conflict.
The future response of cryptocurrency markets to escalating global tensions remains uncertain.
