In light of the tense situation in the Middle East, U.S. President Donald Trump called on Iran to sign the nuclear deal. This statement comes amid volatility in the cryptocurrency market, particularly regarding BTC.
Trump's Statement on the Nuclear Deal
Donald Trump stated that he strongly urged Iranian authorities to sign the nuclear deal, or the situation could escalate. "I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done," Trump remarked on his social media.
Market Reaction to Events
Following the initial missile strikes by Israel against Iran, the BTC price experienced significant volatility. The cryptocurrency dropped to $103,000 but later recovered some ground, standing close to $105,000. This situation led to declines in stock markets and affected other sectors, with further instability expected as tensions continue to escalate.
Future of Iran and Possible Escalation of Conflict
Trump also warned that the next planned attacks could be even more brutal, urging Iranian leaders to sign the deal before "there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire."
Trump's statements highlight the tension in U.S.-Iran relations, which, in turn, affects financial markets and cryptocurrency assets. The likelihood of further volatility remains high.
