BlockBeats News, on June 22, cryptocurrency market analysis firm Santiment stated that the U.S. military bombed Iranian nuclear facilities today, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing clashes that have lasted over a week between Israel and Iran.
Domestically in the U.S., New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for the initiation of impeachment proceedings against Trump, while supporters argue that this move is crucial to curtailing Iran's nuclear capability development. Global leaders and analysts warn that Iran may retaliate through cyberattacks, proxy armed assaults, or by cutting off oil transport routes. Currently, about 40,000 U.S. troops are stationed in the region, and with Trump himself threatening to use 'greater force' against retaliatory actions, the situation may further deteriorate.
The cryptocurrency market reacted swiftly. According to Santiment's social metrics monitoring, the mention of the keyword 'Iran' surged immediately following the news. Bitcoin's price unexpectedly remained stable, but this may be due to the event occurring during the weekend night (U.S. time). Such geopolitical crises typically trigger market volatility as investors assess the risks of war escalation.
