Trump Urges Iran to Make Peace After Airstrikes as Crypto Markets Recover Quickly

Trump called on Iran to make peace just hours after U.S. forces bombed three of the country’s key nuclear facilities on Saturday night. In a televised statement from the White House, the former president warned Iran that future U.S. strikes would be much stronger if Tehran decided to retaliate.

The U.S. targeted Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, marking a major escalation in tensions after weeks of diplomatic uncertainty.

Iran responds with Missile attacks on Israel

In retaliation to U.S airstikes, Iran fired missiles on Israel intensifying the situation into a global crisis. According to Tasnim News Agency, which is owned by the state of Iran, the attack was a formal response of the military, making it a sign that there will be no immediate solution in terms of diplomacy.

Trump had earlier expressed interest in negotiating a new nuclear deal with Iran, even after Israel’s initial involvement. However, his tone shifted early in the week. He publicly ruled out a ceasefire, demanding a permanent resolution. He later posted “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” in all capital letters on Truth Social, signaling a hard-line stance.

By the end of the week, Trump set a two-week deadline to decide on military action. That window closed on Saturday night when U.S. warplanes struck Iran, drawing American forces into yet another Middle East conflict.

Cryptocurrency markets rebound after initial drop

The emergence of military activities triggered sharp replies in the world of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin fell to below the 100,000-mark soon after information about the attack broke, and SOL, Ether, and XRP fell with a rapid descent, as well. SOL touched the level of 121 dollars, Ether dropped to 2300 dollars and XRP crashed to 2.09 dollars. The market settled after a few hours even after the initial shock. Bitcoin rose back above the $102000 mark, and the rest of the big assets regained the larger portion of their losses. This rapid recovery indicated that people in the stock market do not perceive the fall as something serious and long-term.

Iran condemns strikes and appeals to global institutions

Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the U.S. strikes, calling them an act of war. In a statement, the government accused Washington of abandoning diplomacy and violating international law. It described Israel as lawless and warned of severe consequences.

Iran called on the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency to intervene and requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to address the situation.
