This U.S. military strike is ostensibly retaliation for the merchant ship incident, but in reality it’s pushing Iran into a corner—behind the deterrence of “no longer existing,” oil prices and BTC first tremble, then tremble again, and then tremble a third time.

CoinWorld news: On the 27th local time, U.S. President Donald Trump said that the U.S. military has just struck Iran’s missile and drone storage sites, as well as coastal radar stations, because they violated the ceasefire agreement again. Trump also threatened, “There will come a time when we will no longer exercise restraint and will be forced to complete the actions we have already successfully initiated by military means. If it truly comes to that, the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist!” The U.S. Central Command issued a statement on social media on the 27th, saying that the U.S. military carried out another round of strikes against multiple targets inside Iran that day. The military strike action launched by the U.S. that day was a direct response to “Iran’s continued actions targeting commercial ships.” U.S. warplanes struck targets including Iran’s military surveillance facilities, communication systems, air-defense positions, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying equipment.
