The president later addressed the nation and warned Iran of far higher attacks. He reminded Iran that a large number of sites are still intact and may be attacked later if Iran does not make peace.

While the US president has warned Iran of any retaliations, there is still a chance that war can further escalate. There is a growing concern that other countries might enter the war including China and Russia. The next support for Bitcoin stays is at $92k-$94k range which is about 10% down from the current levels. This would mean huge sell offs for many altcoins.
