Trump\u2019s threat of \u201clots of bombs\u201d if the Iran ceasefire lapses feeds straight into Bitcoin\u2019s war\u2011driven volatility and the debate over its safe\u2011haven role.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that \u201clots of bombs start going off\u201d if a fragile ceasefire with Iran expires this week, a threat that immediately drags oil, Bitcoin and broader crypto markets back into geopolitical crossfire.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a phone interview with PBS News reporter Liz Landers, Trump said that if the truce ends on Tuesday, \u201cthen lots of bombs start going off,\u201d even as a U.S. delegation prepares for another round of talks that may take place in Islamabad.<\/p>\n
Asked whether Iran would attend, he replied, \u201cI don\u2019t know. I mean, they should show up. It\u2019s arranged. We\u2019ll see if they come. If they don\u2019t come, that\u2019s okay,\u201d before reiterating that his bottom line for any deal is that \u201cIran absolutely cannot have nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments land after months in which the Iran conflict has repeatedly rattled risk assets, with Bitcoin swinging between drawdowns and sharp rebounds on each round of strikes and ceasefire headlines.<\/p>\n
Reporting from outlets such as Time and The Hill has documented how Trump has threatened to \u201cdecimate\u201d every bridge and power plant in Iran and to \u201cstart dropping bombs again\u201d if Tehran does not accept his terms, putting direct military pressure on infrastructure around the Strait of Hormuz.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Any renewed bombing campaign in or around the Strait would likely push crude back toward or above $100 per barrel, a level Barclays and other banks have previously highlighted as plausible if shipping lanes remain blocked, with knock\u2011on effects for inflation expectations and Federal Reserve policy.<\/a><\/p>\n For Bitcoin, that feedback loop has already been visible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier phases of the conflict saw BTC (BTC) drop below $66,000 on ETF outflows and \u201crisk\u2011off\u201d sentiment before recovering toward the $70,000\u2013$75,000 band as the \u201cdigital gold\u201d narrative reasserted itself, according to market commentary tracked by MEXC and regional crypto media.<\/p>\n More recently, on\u2011chain data and exchange flows show Bitcoin selling off by roughly 8% after U.S.\u2013Iran negotiations collapsed, triggering about $890 million in liquidations in six hours, before stabilizing as traders reassessed path\u2011of\u2011war scenarios.<\/a><\/p>\n Those price swings now intersect with a much more direct link between Iran and crypto markets.<\/p>\n As first reported by Yahoo Finance, Tehran has begun charging oil tankers a fee of $1 per barrel in Bitcoin to cross the Strait of Hormuz, making it the first state to demand BTC for a major trade route and effectively hard\u2011wiring the Bitcoin price into the cost of global energy logistics.<\/a><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s choice of Bitcoin came after stablecoin issuer Tether blocked more than $3.3 billion in wallets, including those tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, illustrating why a censorship\u2011resistant asset is attractive in a sanctions\u2011heavy environment.<\/a><\/p>\n In a previous crypto.news story on tokenized real\u2011world assets and the rise of dollar\u2011linked stablecoins as settlement rails, analysts argued that geopolitics, energy prices and crypto liquidity are increasingly fused, a point now underscored by a U.S. president warning that bombs \u2014 and by extension oil and Bitcoin volatility \u2014 are back on the table if diplomacy fails.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trump\u2019s threat of \u201clots of bombs\u201d if the Iran ceasefire lapses feeds straight into Bitcoin\u2019s war\u2011driven volatility and the debate over its safe\u2011haven role.
