#IsraelIranConflict • JUST IN: Iran said that its retaliation on Israel has begun, according to state media. The Israeli military said it identified incoming missiles launched from Iran toward Israel, and CNN has heard large explosions in Tel Aviv.
• Israel’s attack on Iran: Israel earlier today launched unprecedented strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders. The attacks have continued across multiple cities across the nation, and Iranian state media reports that fresh strikes are hitting Tehran. Iran’s foreign minister said that Israel will “deeply regret” its attack.
• Trump warns Iran: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran earlier today to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left.” It’s unclear if scheduled nuclear talks between the US and Iran will go ahead this weekend.
• Military leaders killed: Gen. Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and one of the country’s most powerful figures, was killed in the attack. Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s highest-ranking military officer, was also killed.
1. Tariff Policy Updates “Liberation Day” tariffs began on April 2, 2025, hitting a wide range of goods (10–50%, with up to 55% later on specific imports). These have expanded globally, covering China, EU, UK, Canada, Mexico, and others—a steep escalation from his first term. A U.S court recently struck down these tariffs as exceeding presidential authority under emergency powers, blocking them pending appeal. #TRUMP 2. Immediate Crypto Market Reactions Bitcoin and other crypto currencies fell quickly following the April tariff rollout: $BTC
dropped ~15% from $88.5K to $74.5K . U.S. crypto stocks like Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and miners fell 6–9% on tariff-driven sell-offs . In the short term, tariffs sparked risk-off sentiment across markets—crypto, tech stocks, and futures experienced volatility.
3. Medium-Term Trends & Analyst Views Resilience & rebound: May and June saw recoveries—bitcoin retested $115K–$120K as tariff threats eased. Uncertainty risk: Analysts caution that continued tariff “sabre rattling” without resolution could trap BTC in sideways or downward drift.
Dollar weakness tailwind: A softer $USDC and expectations of Fed rate cuts in response to tariff-driven slowdowns are boosting risk assets like crypto and gold.
4. Long-Term Crypto Upside Experts suggest that weakening U.S dollar dominance could strengthen non-sovereign assets like bitcoin as digital alternatives . The creation of a U.S strategic crypto reserve and favorable regulatory moves under Trump’s administration are likely fueling institutional confidence.
📈 Bottom Line for Crypto Time Horizon Impact on Crypto Short-Term Volatile: sharp drops during tariff shocks Medium-Term Potential rebound if trade tensions ease Long-Term Tailwinds: weaker dollar, crypto reserve, regulation Key catalyst: The court’s recent injunction has lifted immediate tariff risk, easing short-term pressure. #TrumpTariffs #TrumpCrypto
