US-Israel Joint Strike on Iran Sparks Regional Tensions

The Middle East has been rocked by a surprise joint military strike carried out by the US and Israel on Iran. According to reports, the operation was coordinated between Washington and Jerusalem, with officials stating that it aimed to counter an immediate threat. The Israeli government declared a nationwide state of emergency in response to the attack.

The strike follows weeks of rising tensions between the two countries, which have escalated in recent days. Just yesterday, the US designated Iran as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention, accusing Tehran of holding American citizens for political leverage. As a result, the US increased its military presence in Israel, deploying advanced fighter jets and additional assets across the region.

The joint strike has sent shockwaves through global markets, with Bitcoin being among the hardest hit. The cryptocurrency plummeted more than 6% in just 24 hours, dropping to around $63,300. This decline erases recent recovery attempts and extends broader weakness over the past month.
