Bitcoin’s price experienced a slight rise today before a major announcement from Donald Trump. After weeks of positive statements about negotiations with Iran, Trump introduced measures likely to heighten tensions again. These developments are expected to impact the cryptocurrency market.
Cryptocurrency Breaking News
As of the time this article was prepared, the price of Bitcoin 
$107,689 had fallen to $96,500. Trump announced secondary sanctions on those dealing with Iran, primarily affecting buyers of Iranian oil. What does this imply? Trump’s initiatives for inflation reduction could see a reverse as oil security rises. Following the announcement, oil prices have already increased by approximately $1.
“WARNING: All purchases of oil and petrochemical products from Iran MUST now cease! Any country or individual purchasing ANY AMOUNT of oil or petrochemical products from Iran will immediately be subject to Secondary Sanctions. They will not be permitted to do business in any capacity, shape, or form with the United States. Thank you for your attention, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”
The Decline of BTC Price
Bitcoin’s value has begun to drop. But who are these sanctions, taxes, and threats aimed at? They primarily target countries like China, which accounted for 90% of Iran’s oil exports last year. Large amounts of oil circumvent sanctions using specialized ships. Besides China, Iran collaborates on energy with Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan. Although Turkey once imported from Iran, it ceased due to US sanctions.
Currently, Trump seems to open another front against China, which contradicts efforts to de-escalate tensions.
