President Trump said on Saturday that U.S. warplanes had struck three major Iranian nuclear facilities, drawing the United States directly into the conflict with Iran despite his long-standing promise to avoid a new war. Bitcoin fell to $100,837 and Ethereum fell to $2,216. Cryptocurrencies were the first to be hit during the weekend holiday when financial markets were closed.

ToggleTrump says US attacked three Iranian nuclear sites
Trump wrote on social media on Saturday:
"We have successfully attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. All aircraft are now out of Iranian airspace. Full payloads of bombs were dropped on the main bombing site, Fordow, and all aircraft returned safely. Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other military in the world could have done this. It's time for peace!"
Earlier on Saturday, several U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers left Missouri and headed west across the Pacific Ocean, according to CNBC . These large aircraft are among the only ones in the U.S. capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 30,000-pound bomb known as a "bunker buster."
Saturday's action brings the United States into direct armed conflict with Iran, a major escalation of U.S. involvement in Israeli efforts to undermine Tehran's nuclear program and topple its regime.
Trump's decision to launch an attack was surprising because he had said late last week that a decision would be made within two weeks, suggesting he was willing to allow more time for negotiations. On Friday, the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Britain met with Iranian officials to try to deter the U.S. from launching an attack.
The ongoing fighting has raised concerns about a regional conflict that could cause heavy civilian casualties and disrupt energy and other trade flows in the region. About a fifth of the world's daily oil supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and its Gulf Arab neighbors.
Trump gave a speech, calling it a "glorious military victory"
Trump also delivered a speech at 10 p.m. ET, flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Trump said the attack was a brilliant military victory. Iran will either move toward peace or tragedy, which will be far more severe than what we have witnessed in the past eight days. He warned:
Remember, there are many more goals.
Financial markets closed over the weekend, cryptocurrencies were the first to be hit
During the weekend holiday when financial markets were closed, cryptocurrencies were the first to be hit. Bitcoin fell to $100,837 during the financial market closure. Ethereum fell to $2,216. $655 million of cryptocurrency positions were liquidated within 24 hours, with ETH being the largest.
Coinglass ’s Fear and Greed Index also returned to the fear zone of 40.
Risk Warning
Cryptocurrency investment carries a high degree of risk. Its price may fluctuate drastically and you may lose all your capital. Please assess the risk carefully.
The United States launched airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities on June 21-22, using B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles, rapidly escalating tensions in the region. Trump claimed that he was “acting for peace,” but the move sparked intense controversy and threats of military response both inside and outside the United States.

In the short term, investors may need to operate with caution and pay attention to the upcoming macroeconomic data or policy news, which may affect the market trend.
