Iran firmly rejects Trump's demands for surrender, Bitcoin falls below $105,000
On June 18, U.S. President Trump stated on his social media platform TruthSocial that if Iran wants to avoid further military strikes, it should "surrender unconditionally."
Trump also mentioned that the U.S. knows the whereabouts of Iran's Supreme Leader but currently has no intention to attack. He warned that U.S. patience is "running out" and emphasized that Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons.
Trump's remarks came after escalating tensions between Israel and Iran; nonetheless, Bitcoin's price continues to be affected by global turmoil, having fallen below $105,000 earlier today.
However, Iran's Supreme Leader responded to Trump's surrender request, stating that Iran will not yield. Iranian President Ali Khamenei also warned Trump that if the U.S. joins Israel's attacks, it would cause "irreparable damage." At the same time, Iran has launched missile strikes against Israel for the third consecutive night, further escalating tensions in the Middle East.
President Trump's previous stern criticisms have undoubtedly impacted the market, leading to continued pressure on Bitcoin's price, which remains below $105,000.
Market analysts further point out that, given there are no signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, this turmoil is unlikely to subside in the short term, and Bitcoin's price seems to have little hope of rebounding in the current environment.
Investors are currently closely monitoring developments, as any new movements could once again impact market sentiment. This series of events also indicates that geopolitical turmoil not only threatens regional security but can also significantly shake financial markets in the short term.
