On the morning of June 13, Israel launched a large-scale military strike against Iran, with airstrikes covering Tehran and multiple nuclear facilities and missile bases. The Israeli Prime Minister stated that this was a necessary countermeasure in response to Iran's existential threat to Israel, and vowed to continue strikes until the threat is eliminated. Iran has fully activated its air defense system, closed Tehran International Airport, and put its military on high alert, with retaliation expected imminently.
Although the United States did not participate in the operation, it quickly initiated evacuation and military preparedness measures. International oil prices rose by over 7% due to the escalating conflict. Tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, with market risk aversion rapidly increasing.
Bitunix analysts suggest: The Israel-Iran conflict may drive safe-haven demand, with short-term geopolitical conflict potentially directing hedge funds into the cryptocurrency asset market. If geopolitical tensions continue to escalate, Bitcoin may challenge the liquidity target above $110,350. Investors are advised to operate cautiously, remain flexible, avoid emotional trading, and closely monitor subsequent diplomatic developments and changes in US-Iran attitudes.
