- Bitcoin fell below $ 100,000 due to escalating geopolitical tension in the Middle East.
- Reports of an imminent Iranian attack on US bases have increased investors’ problems and contributed to the decline.
Bitcoin went short under the $ 100,000 mark on Monday in the middle of escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. An Israeli official confirmed That Iran had launched six missiles against an American military base in Qatar and another against a base in Iraq.
The strike followed testimony about explosions heard over Doha, Qatar’s capital, reported by Reuters.
Iran’s attacks come in response to the US military strikes at its nuclear power plants, in particular the coordinated flight attacks carried out by the United States aimed at important Iranian nuclear places at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. These strikes, first announced by President Donald Trump, were intended to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Bitcoin dropped under the six -digit threshold in response to the news, but quickly jumped back when new updates to Iran’s military action hit the leaders.
