#TRUMP expresses optimism about the prospects of the US operation in Iran.
US President Donald #Trump stated that the American military will continue to successfully carry out its missions as part of the operation against Iran. "We will continue to operate successfully; we have the best military in the world," he said at the White House. According to Trump, the US is successfully destroying Iran's missile arsenals. "We are rapidly destroying their missiles. They would use those missiles against us if we gave them the opportunity," he added.
✨Trump spoke about the success of the operation in Iran and lashed out at Starmer.
During a meeting with reporters at the White House after meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Donald Trump claimed the significant damage inflicted on Iran as a result of the US-Israeli operation and claimed that he had pushed Israel to strike Iran, not that Israel had pushed him.
"No, I probably pushed Israel," the American leader said, answering journalists' questions. "We were negotiating with these crazy people, and I was under the impression that they would attack us first. I didn't want that to happen. So if anyone pushed anyone, it was me." "Almost everything has been destroyed," Trump said of the interim results of the operation in Iran.

"The hardest blows are yet to come." What American and Israeli leaders say about the goals and prospects of a war with Iran Trump was also asked what the "worst-case" scenario envisioned in the American administration's plans is. "I think the worst-case scenario is if we do this, and then someone comes to power who's just as bad as the last one, right?" he said, referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an airstrike on the first day of the conflict.
Most of the people who could have succeeded the slain Iranian supreme leader are already dead, Trump explained. "Pretty soon, we won't know anyone at all," he added.

Sprādzieni Rijādā. Spriedze Izraēlas-Libanānas robežā. Diplomātiskie centieni. Gaisa ceļojumi ir paralizēti.
ASV-Izraēlas konflikta ar Irānu ceturtā diena sākās ar sprādzieniem Teherānā un divu Irānas dronu uzbrukumu ASV vēstniecībai Rijādā.
Otrdien skaļi sprādzieni satricināja Irānas galvaspilsētu, ziņoja AFP žurnālisti. Detonācijas tika dzirdētas ziemeļu Teherānā, taču, saskaņā ar reportieriem, nebija nekavējoties skaidrs, kas ir cietis. Irānas mediji arī ziņoja par sprādzieniem pilsētās Karaj, netālu no Teherānas, un centrālajā pilsētā Isfahan.
Irāna otrdien no rīta veica dronu uzbrukumu ASV vēstniecībai Saūda Arābijas galvaspilsētā. Saskaņā ar Aizsardzības ministriju, tas izraisīja "ierobežotu apšaudi" un nelielus bojājumus. Vēstniecības darbinieki aicināja amerikāņus neapmeklēt vēstniecību tuvākajās dienās.
Mediju pārstāvji ziņoja par jaunu Irānas uzbrukumu vilni ASV bāzei Erbilā, Irākā.

$BITCOIN Recovers Above $67,000 Following Khamenei's Death
$BITCOIN is recouping weekend losses, trading above $67,000 as investors react to a seismic shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics. The recovery follows a period of extreme volatility triggered by the coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which President Donald Trump confirmed resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tehran initially denied the reports, but Iranian state media later confirmed the leader's death, sending shockwaves through global markets. As we noted in Saturday's review, $BITCOIN has a well-documented habit of "flash crashes" on sudden geopolitical news before the market regains its footing. This cycle repeats itself almost perfectly. After falling to lows near $63,000 yesterday, the digital asset is seeing steady capital inflows as the initial panic subsides. Regime Change Factor and Market Sentiment Khamenei's assassination was a decisive move that few in the market expected. The subsequent return to Bitcoin suggests a growing narrative among traders that the "worst" of the military escalation may be over. However, investor optimism is balanced by the massive power vacuum left in Tehran. Khamenei has been the supreme authority in Iran for decades, and his absence calls into question the country's next move and the stability of the region.
Daži investori, kuri pēdējo divu gadu laikā ir iegādājušies Bitcoin, tagad ir zaudētāju pozīcijā, saskaņā ar CryptoQuant platformas analītiķiem. Ja Bitcoin cena nokrītas zem $60,000, gandrīz visi šie investori, izņemot ilgtermiņa turētājus, sāks zaudēt naudu. Eksperti ir pamanījuši modeli: strauji cenu kritumi bieži seko periodiem, kad lielākā daļa tirgus dalībnieku gūst nozīmīgus ienākumus. Savukārt spēcīgas pieauguma tendences parasti sākas pēc nozīmīgiem investoru zaudējumiem. Saskaņā ar analītiķiem, ja Bitcoin sāk krist zem $60,000, tirgus var kļūt pievilcīgāks aktīvai ieguldīšanai, kas attiecīgi palielinās vadošās kriptovalūtas cenu.
$BITCOIN un kriptovalūtas ir zem spiediena, jo naftas cenas pieauga par 6% un globālie tirgi ņem vērā ASV-Irānas konfliktu. Bitcoin atkāpās uz $66,700, kad tradicionālie tirgi atvērās, iegūstot pirmo iespēju reaģēt uz nedēļas nogales militāro eskalāciju. Nafta pieauga līdz $77, un Āzijas akcijas kritās par 1.4%. Bitcoin nedēļas nogales ieguvumi izzuda, un pirmdien tokena cena kritās par apmēram 1% līdz aptuveni $66,700, atgūstot lielāko daļu no saviem ieguvumiem pēc Irānas vadības maiņas. Plašākais kriptovalūtu tirgus kritās līdzās Bitcoin, kamēr naftas cenas strauji pieauga un globālie akciju indeksi kritās, reaģējot uz ASV-Irānas konfliktu un Hormuza šauruma slēgšanu. Pieaugošās enerģijas cenas veicina inflācijas bailes, kas varētu aizkavēt Federālo rezervju procentu likmju samazinājumus un radīt spiedienu uz riska aktīviem, lai gan daži kripto tirgotāji apgalvo, ka kritums varētu būt ierobežots, ja naftas piegādes paliek stabilas💦

🧧The scale of crypto project losses from hacker attacks has been revealed.🎉
Analysts reported that hackers most often stole cryptocurrency by compromising wallets, resulting in losses of $16.6 million. Price manipulation was the second most common method, resulting in investors losing $11.4 million in digital currency. Another $8.6 million was stolen through phishing attacks. Additionally, attackers exploited code vulnerabilities to steal $5.1 million, while project termination fraud netted the criminals an additional $2.1 million, according to CertiK. The "address poisoning" and "wallet drainer" schemes netted hackers $2.7 million.👽
YieldBlox and Instadapp suffered the greatest losses, with $10.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively. EFX and IoTeX followed with losses of $8.9 million each. Kasm also suffered $2.2 million, Foom $2.3 million, and Initia $2.1 million. CryptoFarm suffered two attacks, with total losses reaching $2.7 million.

Earlier, the US Department of Justice reported the freezing and confiscation of over $580 million in cryptocurrency. These funds, according to US officials, are linked to Chinese criminal organizations.💥
#Ethereum Reaches Key Resistance Zones, Analysts Point to $2,100 and $2,125
After a sharp decline, Ethereum traded near the $2,000 mark, with market commentator Ted Pillows stating that the token has "fully recovered from yesterday's collapse." On the Binance daily chart, published on X, $ETH TH rebounded from a recent low near $1,800 and climbed back to $2,000. This move recouped most of the previous session's losses and returned the price to a key horizontal zone that had previously acted as support and resistance. The chart highlights $2,100 as the next level traders are monitoring. According to Pillows, Ethereum needs to reclaim this level to strengthen its short-term structure. The $2,100 zone coincides with the red resistance band on the chart, while $2,400 is above and represents the next important supply zone. Previous breakouts showed $ETH losing the $2,400 area before accelerating its decline, turning this level into resistance. At the same time, the chart shows lower support levels near $1,720 and $1,540. These areas marked previous demand during past consolidations. Currently, Ethereum is holding above the upper green support zone, testing the lower boundary of the $2,100 resistance area. A sustained move above this barrier could open the way to $2,400, while failure to break above it will keep the price within a broader consolidation range.
Tether recently announced that it had assisted the US Department of Justice in seizing nearly $61 million in USDT. According to the company, the frozen funds were held by scammers who stole money through "pig slaughter" schemes, where criminals gain the victim's trust and then persuade them to transfer the funds. In February, at the request of Turkish authorities, Tether froze approximately 544 million USDT. The freeze affected funds the company believed were linked to illegal online betting and money laundering. By the end of 2025, stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle will have blacklisted approximately 5,700 wallets with a total value of approximately $2.5 billion. Three-quarters of these addresses held USDT at the time of the freeze, according to analytics service Elliptic. USDT is the largest stablecoin in circulation, with token supply exceeding $180 billion, or approximately 71% of the entire stablecoin market. USDT supply has now fallen to a three-year low. In February, the stablecoin's supply fell by approximately $1.5 billion, following a $1.2 billion decline in January. Analysts at Artemis Analytics attributed this to large coin holders' desire to sell their tokens more frequently, comparing the situation to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange in 2022.
Investors accumulated $28 million in #BitcoinCash ahead of a likely 28% price surge.
Average investors acquired 60,000 coins for a total of $28.6 million. Currently, the asset is forming a chart pattern reminiscent of the structure before the active rally phase in 2025. A breakout of $540 could trigger a 28% increase in the cryptocurrency's price. The recent decline in Bitcoin Cash prices has raised concerns about a possible bearish reversal in the market. The coin followed other digital currencies in their decline and tested short-term support zones. However, a macroeconomic perspective suggests that the current pullback is similar to the previous consolidation phase. Historical data shows similar volatility between October and November 2025, when the asset formed a compression pattern before the start of a 28% rally. Furthermore, the current price action, coupled with accumulation trends, suggests a similar pattern is likely to emerge.
