According to BlockBeats, on June 22nd, Santiment, a cryptocurrency market analysis firm, stated that the US military bombed Iran's nuclear facilities today, marking a significant escalation in the more than week-long exchange of fire between the two countries.
In the United States, Democratic Congressman Ocasio Cortes from New York has called for the initiation of impeachment proceedings against Trump, while supporters believe that this move is crucial for curbing Iran's nuclear capabilities. Global politicians and analysts warn that Iran may retaliate through cyber attacks, proxy armed attacks, or cutting off oil transportation channels. At present, there are about 40000 US troops stationed in the region, and with Trump himself threatening to use "stronger force" to counter retaliatory actions, the situation is likely to further deteriorate.
The cryptocurrency market responds quickly. According to Santiment's social indicators monitoring, the mention of the keyword 'Iran' skyrocketed instantly after the news was released. The price of Bitcoin unexpectedly remained stable, but this may have been due to the event occurring on weekend nights (US time slot). This type of geopolitical crisis typically triggers market volatility as investors assess the risk of war escalating.
