Trump Reveals Massive Strike Plan Against Iran; Middle East Tensions Flare Up, Possibly Putting Pressure on a BTC Rebound

According to the latest market updates, the fragile ceasefire previously reached between the US and Iran only held for a few weeks before falling apart. A decisive agreement for a permanent ceasefire was never finalized, and there are signs that fighting has escalated recently.
After the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran held for several weeks, attacks broke out again last week. In addition, after Trump announced that the memorandum of understanding has become void last week, the two countries have launched attacks against each other almost every day since then.
Entering this Tuesday, Trump, along with key officials including Vice President JD Vance and Senator Marco Rubio, held a closed-door meeting in the White House Situation Room to discuss and finalize whether to launch a new large-scale strike strategy against Iran.
Reports say the scope of subsequent actions would no longer be limited to the areas around the Strait of Hormuz, and the plan will upgrade strikes into devastating air raids targeting strategic objectives within Iran itself. Trump warned Iran that it “had better reach an agreement, otherwise it will lose almost all of its current core facilities.”
Notably, after Trump’s past similar tough threats, the US-Iran situation ultimately cooled significantly. This historical pattern also leaves room for de-escalation in the current standoff.
The geopolitical risk upgrade comes at a time when US June CPI came in below expectations, lowering the likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising rates. As a result, BTC’s price surged quickly and hit a multi-week high as it climbed to $65,000 on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Overall, based on past patterns, when the Middle East conflict escalates, it usually pushes up oil prices and drags on Bitcoin’s price. If the US proceeds with a comprehensive strike plan, Iran will likely retaliate and respond against multiple countries in the region. Meanwhile, the upside of a BTC rebound that benefits from inflation dynamics also faces the risk of giving back gains.
