Wall Street Journal: Trump may take military action against Iran within 24 hours, but has not yet signed the final order.

Trump is reported to potentially take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities as early as today, causing Washington and the markets to be on high alert, with investors assessing three scenarios. (Background: Trump may take military action against Iran? The White House National Security Council discusses bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, and Bitcoin briefly fell below $104,000.) (Additional context: Trump urges all to 'immediately evacuate Tehran', stating that Iran must not have nuclear weapons, and Bitcoin plummeted to $106,000.) Is it possible that only a few hours remain until Trump presses the 'attack execution button' against Iran's nuclear facilities? This statement from the White House has once again put Washington and global markets on high alert. The final authorization requires one more signature. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump actually approved the plan to strike Iran on Tuesday, but has not yet signed the final order and is still observing whether Iran will meet the conditions to abandon its nuclear program, thus not providing final authorization. Trump told reporters at the White House: 'I know what to do; I like to make the final decision at the last second before the deadline because situations change rapidly, especially in war.' However, a recent YouGov poll shows that a majority of voters from both parties in the U.S. oppose military action, suggesting that Trump's actions may not be based on public opinion. The market sounds the alarm. Geopolitical risks are directly reflected in asset prices. In 2019, when Saudi oil fields were attacked by drones, oil prices surged by 14% in a single day; analysts estimate that if oil tanker shipping in the Persian Gulf is disrupted, Brent crude could soar above $120. Under the spreading demand for safe-haven assets, Bitcoin has fluctuated by 7% in the past 48 hours, and investors are also focusing on gold and VIX futures. Three potential future paths: Investors currently need to determine whether this 'last second' will really occur? And whether they can withstand the market tsunami after that second, with three possible scenarios: 1. Iran concedes and resumes negotiations, leading oil prices to decline and risk assets to recover. 2. The U.S. or Israel conducts limited airstrikes, locking in the Middle Eastern risk premium. 3. If Iran retaliates comprehensively and escalates the conflict, global supply chains, stock markets, and the cryptocurrency market will undoubtedly face severe turbulence. Bitcoin briefly fell below $104,000 again. Regarding Bitcoin, BTC's price briefly dropped below $104,000 early in the morning but has since rebounded to $104,959, showing a slight increase of 0.5% in the last 24 hours.
