#IsraelIranConflict The price of bitcoin (BTC) fell sharply yesterday, June 12, below 104,000 dollars, in what was an immediate market reaction to a highly impactful geopolitical news: Israel launched a massive airstrike against Iran.

In addition, the Israeli government declared a national state of emergency and justified its actions as a "preventive response" to the supposed imminence of an Iranian nuclear weapon.

The episode marks one of the highest military tension moments in the Middle East in recent years. As is common in events of this nature, the markets reacted with uncertainty. And bitcoin, which many still consider a "risky" asset, was no exception.
