The United States attacked Iran's major nuclear facilities, and Bitcoin faced a risk of breaching the 100,000 mark.

U.S. President Trump stated on Saturday that U.S. fighter jets have attacked three major nuclear facilities in Iran. Despite his long-standing commitment to avoid new wars, the U.S. has directly become embroiled in the conflict with Iran. Bitcoin briefly fell to $100,837, while Ether dropped to a low of $2,216 during the weekend holiday when financial markets were completely closed, with Crypto Assets being the first to be impacted.

Trump stated that the United States attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Trump wrote on social media on Saturday:

"We have successfully attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All aircraft have now exited Iranian airspace. Bombs loaded with explosives have been dropped on the primary target, Fordow, and all aircraft have returned safely. Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other military in the world can accomplish this. It is now a moment for peace!"

According to CNBC, several U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers departed from Missouri earlier on Saturday, flying west across the Pacific. These large aircraft are among the few in the U.S. capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). The MOP is a bomb weighing 30,000 pounds, known as the "bunker buster."

The actions on Saturday have plunged the United States and Iran into direct armed conflict, marking a significant escalation in the U.S. efforts to undermine Tehran's nuclear program and overthrow its regime.

Trump's decision to launch an attack was unexpected, as he had indicated last week that he would make a decision within two weeks, suggesting he was willing to allow more time for negotiations. On Friday, the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom met with Iranian officials in an attempt to prevent the United States from launching an attack.

The ongoing fighting has raised concerns about regional conflicts that could lead to significant civilian casualties and disrupt energy and other trade in the area. About one-fifth of the world's daily oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and its Arab Gulf neighbors.

Trump delivered a speech, calling it a "glorious military victory".

Trump also delivered a speech at 10 PM Eastern Time, flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Trump stated that this attack is a brilliant military victory. Iran is either heading towards peace or towards tragedy, the severity of which will far exceed what we have witnessed in the past eight days. He also warned:

Remember, there are still many goals.

The financial markets are closed on weekends, and the Crypto Assets are the first to be impacted.

During the weekend holiday when the financial markets were fully closed, Crypto Assets were the first to be impacted. With the financial markets closed, Bitcoin once fell to $100,837. Ether dropped to a low of $2,216. $655 million in positions were liquidated within 24 hours in the Crypto Assets market, primarily in ETH.

The Coinglass Fear and Greed Index has also returned to the fear range of 40.
