## **1️⃣ Immediate Impact on Markets**
🟢 **Bitcoin as a "Safe Haven"?**
- In geopolitical crises, BTC sometimes acts as a store of value (similar to gold).
- If the conflict escalates, there may be a flight to crypto assets (mainly Bitcoin).
🔴 **Risk of Extreme Volatility**
- Sudden news can cause buying or selling spikes within minutes.
- Altcoins may suffer more than BTC/ETH due to lower liquidity.

## **2️⃣ Indirect Effects**
🛢️ **Oil and Economic Sanctions**
- Iran is a major oil producer; tensions can drive prices up.
- Sanctions may increase demand for **stablecoins (USDT, USDC)** for capital movement.
💵 **Dollar and U.S. Treasury**
- If there is a rush to traditional assets (USD, gold), BTC may have a short-term correction before recovering.

## **3️⃣ Possible Scenarios**
### **✅ If the Conflict Calms Quickly**
- Markets normalize within days.
- Cryptocurrencies may refocus on macro factors (halving, ETFs).
### **⚠️ If the Conflict Escalates (Direct Attacks, Severe Sanctions)**
