What changed: Updated the story to include reports of a potential US ground invasion of Iran and expected Bitcoin volatility during the Sunday legacy futures open.

Israel continues its military operations in Iran, disregarding the diplomatic pause brokered by President Donald Trump. In a significant strategic escalation, Trump has specifically identified Kharg Island—a critical oil export hub—as a primary target for seizure under proposed US ground invasion plans. Trump’s rhetoric has intensified further, with the President bragging about successful military strikes already conducted against major Iranian targets. Consequently, Bitcoin remains under pressure near $66,200, with analysts forecasting extreme volatility as legacy futures markets prepare to open. The prospect of direct military involvement and threats to global energy infrastructure has also weighed heavily on major equity indices like the SPY and QQQ. Financial experts suggest that the focus on oil-rich territories is driving a rapid flight to safe-haven assets as geopolitical risks reach a critical threshold.
