⚠️ U.S. Strikes Iranian Nuclear Sites — Oil Markets on Edge, Bitcoin Holds Strong
Last night, the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz. As fears grow over a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a critical route for ~20% of global oil supply — markets are bracing for a surge in crude prices to $120–$130 per barrel.
Despite the mounting geopolitical tension, Brent crude remains around $72. But all eyes are on Iran’s response and whether oil flow through the Strait continues uninterrupted.
💡 Meanwhile, $BTC is showing strength, holding above $101000, reinforcing its role as a modern safe-haven asset in times of crisis. With its fixed supply and decentralized nature, Bitcoin is increasingly being seen as a hedge against inflation and global instability — much like digital gold.
As traditional markets wobble, Bitcoin’s calm signals the maturing of crypto as a legitimate macro asset.
