While you were sleeping, the world woke up in a frenzy: Israel struck Iran on the night of June 13. Not a warning, not a whisper — a real blow. They called it a 'preventive operation,' and then there were explosions in Tehran, the runway at Imam Khomeini Airport is empty, the sky is closed, and air defense is roaring like crazy.
The code name is 'Lion People.' IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) stated that the targets were Iran's nuclear facilities, particularly in Natanz, as well as the ballistic missile program. It is said that Iran had enough enriched uranium to assemble 15 nuclear bombs in a few days. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated directly: "We struck at the very heart of the program."
In response, Iran mobilized all defense systems. The media reports the death of IRGC commander Hossein Salami, several nuclear scientists, and an injured advisor to Khamenei. In fact, this was not just a signal — it is a threat of full-scale war.
And as always — one decision on the other side of the world and oil prices have already jumped, exchanges have trembled, and investors have rushed to 'safe havens.'
🧠 What does this mean for the crypto market?
In such moments, the market behaves like a teenager on TikTok — either in tears or in screams of joy. If the conflict escalates into a hot phase, capital will flow into defensive assets: gold, dollar, government bonds. Crypto, as a risky asset, will take a hit. We have already seen this during the war in Ukraine in 2022, during the banking crisis in the USA, and even after COVID-19.
👊 But! There is also a reverse side. In a global mess, when banks freeze assets, SWIFT shuts down, and money cannot be withdrawn — Bitcoin becomes the only currency without borders. People remember about cold wallets, about autonomy, that crypto is not just an investment, but a 'Plan B.'
📈 In the short term, declines are possible — traders are panicking. But if the conflict drags on or affects oil exports, crypto will get a chance to grow as an alternative to the oil-dollar system. Especially if energy prices start to rise — BTC mining and all crypto energy will gain new meaning.
📌 Conclusion:
The world has entered another dangerous spiral. But unlike traditional markets that await instructions from governments and the Federal Reserve, crypto lives by its own rules. If everything goes according to a tight scenario — Bitcoin will fall along with everything else. But it will be the first to rise.
