Odaily Planet Daily News Crypto market analysis agency Santiment posted on the X platform that the US military bombed Iranian nuclear facilities today, marking that the action marked a significant escalation of the exchange of fire between Israel and Iran that has lasted for more than a week.
In the United States, New York Democratic Representative Ocasio-Cortez has called for the initiation of impeachment proceedings against Trump, while supporters believe that this move is crucial to curbing the development of Iran's nuclear capabilities. Global politicians and analysts warned that Iran may retaliate through cyber attacks, proxy armed attacks or cutting off oil transportation channels. There are currently about 40,000 US troops stationed in the region, and the situation may deteriorate further as Trump himself threatens to use "stronger force" to counter retaliatory actions.
The cryptocurrency market reacted quickly. According to Santiment's social indicator monitoring, the number of mentions of the keyword "Iran" soared instantly after the news came out. Bitcoin prices remained unexpectedly stable, but this may be because the incident occurred on weekend nights (US time). Such geopolitical crises usually trigger market fluctuations as investors assess the risk of expanding wars.
