Trump Thanks Iran for Warning Before Attack, Calls for Peace
In a somewhat unexpected turn, former US President Donald Trump publicly thanked Iran for giving advance notice before launching an attack on US bases. The statement came after tensions flared up again in the region, though details about the exact nature of the attack remain unclear.
“They let us know,” Trump said, without elaborating much further. It’s not typical for leaders to express gratitude in these situations, but then again, Trump has never been one to follow the usual script. He then shifted tone, adding, “Congratulations to the whole world, now is the time for peace.” Whether that’s wishful thinking or a genuine hope is hard to say.
Markets React—Bitcoin Bounces Back
Meanwhile, Bitcoin, which had been sliding for days, suddenly clawed back some ground. At the time of writing, it’s trading above $103,000—though, as always, that could change in an hour. Crypto markets have a habit of swinging wildly on geopolitical news, and this seems to be no exception.
Some traders might see this as a sign of stability returning, but let’s be honest: nobody really knows. Bitcoin doesn’t always move in ways that make sense. One day it’s up because of a tweet, the next it’s down because of a rumor. Still, the rebound is notable, especially given how jittery investors have been lately.
What Happens Next?
Trump’s comments are raising eyebrows, partly because they don’t fit neatly into the usual political playbook. Is this a genuine push for de-escalation, or just another off-the-cuff remark? It’s hard to tell. Either way, the situation in the region remains tense, and any shift in rhetoric could have real consequences.
As for Bitcoin, the recovery might not last. Or it might. Predicting crypto prices is like trying to guess the weather three weeks from now—you’re better off just watching and waiting.
One thing’s for sure: when Trump speaks, people listen. And when markets move this fast, it’s worth paying attention, even if you’re not sure why.
