Trump’s Middle East Comments Spark Bitcoin Volatility

President Donald Trump’s recent comments concerning the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran have sparked uncertainty in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin (BTC) experiencing significant volatility. According to reports, a phone conversation between the US and Russian leaders on June 14th, 2025, revealed Trump expressing alarm about the conflict’s escalation. While this discussion included discussions of nuclear negotiations with Iran, recent events, including Israel’s surprise attack on Iranian targets, marked a significant turning point. The attack reportedly led to over 70 casualties and disrupted global markets. Despite a brief respite in Bitcoin prices after initial market reaction, concerns surrounding the conflict’s unresolved nature have once again impacted the cryptocurrency. Experts caution that if the sell-off persists, Bitcoin could potentially plummet below the $80,000 threshold.
