The latest news today, "Iran shelling U.S. warship," is a serious confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz today. Iran claims they "hit the target," but U.S. officials deny it.

Prior to this, the U.S. launched the "Freedom Plan," announcing the deployment of warships and aircraft to "guide" trapped merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran strongly warned against this, firmly opposing U.S. intervention, and explicitly warning that foreign armed forces attempting to approach the strait will be attacked.

Will the U.S. and Iran go to war again?

The short-term possibility of full-scale war remains low, and it is more likely to be tense standoff. But the risk of accidental fire is rapidly increasing because this warning shot is a direct clash of long-standing hardline policies from both sides. Iran has repeatedly warned that the possibility of new conflict is very high, while the U.S. is considering a long-term naval blockade or resuming military operations. Multiple signals indicate a significant risk of escalation.

Following this news, the price of $BTC dropped sharply without hesitation, falling from the new high of around 80,600 to around 78,200. But with U.S. officials' "denial," the price rebounded strongly back to around 79,000.

This is really a damn mess. Turns out, the market makers are the U.S. and Iran, and the world is just a huge leek garden. #WCTC交易王PK
