Trump is back at it with his trash talk, saying he’s going to crush Iran. Anyone familiar with Trump knows this: Every time Trump acts over the top, it’s just to get you back to the negotiation table. Trump’s real goals in targeting Iran are: 1. Limiting Iran’s military capabilities 2. Ensuring safe shipping in the Strait of Hormuz 3. Protecting U.S. interests If you’ve followed the Russia-Ukraine war, you’ll notice it’s the same playbook—negotiations keep breaking down. This kind of breakdown is super draining for both sides’ confidence. What might happen is the U.S. loses patience, fires a big missile over, and forces compliance. For the crypto world, this means high interest rates staying stubbornly high, and $BTC lacking momentum for a rebound. Let’s see if Trump actually targets Iran’s infrastructure next. For now, it’s all just talk.
