US–Israeli Strike Hits Iranian Civilian Bank

Recent tensions increased after reports that the U.S. and Israel bombed a civilian bank in Tehran. The strike hit Bank Sepah on Haghani Highway, where several bank employees were reportedly killed while working extra hours to prepare salary payments.

Following the incident, Ebrahim Zolfaqari, speaking for Khatam ol Anbia, urged civilians to stay at least one kilometer away from U.S. and Israeli banks or financial offices.

How Will This Impact the Crypto Market?

After the latest tensions, the U.S. stock market saw a small drop, while stocks of companies like Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia showed slight volatility.

The crypto market also reacts to geopolitical tensions. When uncertainty rises, many investors move money away from risky assets. Because of this, crypto prices can rise or fall very quickly within hours. Similar reactions were seen during the Russia–Ukraine War.

With Bitcoin already about 50% below its all-time high, the price could face more pressure if the conflict continues to escalate.
