➡️ Following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a successful airstrike in Iran, the value of $BTC experienced a significant dip, falling to $100,945 per coin. However, it later rebounded to $102,350 after Trump's remarks on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,
Trump stated on Truth Social. He emphasized the success of the operation, saying,
A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.
This declaration caused a $40 billion loss in the crypto market between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. but bitcoin managed to stabilize shortly after.
📉 Trump's unexpected announcement came after he had previously indicated that a decision would take two weeks. Reports suggested that he had already considered various strike scenarios earlier that week. Among these options were 30,000-lb. bunker buster bombs and stealth aircraft operated by U.S. forces. Additionally, there were indications that the Israeli Air Force had targeted Iran's radar infrastructure to facilitate the stealth operation.
🗣 Trump is scheduled to address the American public on this matter at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday evening.
