Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana crash as US drops bombs on Iran's nuclear sites
The post Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana crash as US drops bombs on Iran's nuclear sites appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin crashed below six figures for the first time in over a month on Saturday, falling to $99,822, after US President Donald Trump announced American fighter jets had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites.

Defense Minister Israel Katz called Izadi’s killing “a major achievement,” claiming he had supplied weapons and money to Hamas before its October 7 attack that launched the war in Gaza. Izadi had been on both US and British sanctions lists. While Israeli forces targeted Izadi in Qom, Iran’s…
