Amidst the latest developments in US-Iran relations, Trump issued a call for peace to Iran following bombings of its nuclear facilities.
Trump's Demands to Iran
During a televised address, Trump stated that Iran must 'make peace' with the US. This statement came just two hours after US military strikes targeted three key Iranian nuclear sites. He did not specify what kind of peace he expects Iran to demonstrate, but the message was clear: 'stop now, or face greater consequences.' The necessity of reaching a nuclear deal with Iran had been articulated in his speeches for several weeks preceding the attacks, though his tone shifted afterward.
Iran's Response to US Actions
In response to the strikes, Iran quickly declared it had launched missiles at Israel, officially escalating the conflict. The Iranian Foreign Ministry characterized Trump's actions as a 'dangerous war against Iran' and stated that the US had 'betrayed diplomacy', describing Israel as 'genocidal and lawless'.
Cryptocurrency Market Reaction
In light of the conflict news, prices for Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies plummeted. Bitcoin fell below $100,000, SOL hit $121, Ether dropped to $2,300, and XRP touched $2.09. However, within a couple of hours, prices rebounded: Bitcoin was back above $102,000, SOL rose over $130, and Ether and XRP stabilized.
The situation between the US and Iran remains tense, while the global community is called to respond to the actions of both parties. The cryptocurrency market exhibited its volatility in response to global events.
