He also announced that the US Navy would begin actions to block ships attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president added that naval forces had been instructed to intercept vessels in international waters that had paid tolls to Iran. He warned that such ships would not be granted safe passage and stated that the US would begin clearing mines placed in the strait. He also issued a strong warning that any hostile actions from Iranian forces against US or civilian vessels would be met with force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another statement, Trump accused Iran of failing to reopen the Strait as previously promised, saying this had caused widespread disruption and concern across global markets. He also warned that the United States could impose a 50 percent tariff on China and other nations if they were found to be supporting Iran with weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin had already reacted negatively to the failed talks announced earlier by US Vice President JD Vance. Following that update, the cryptocurrency dropped by more than 2000 dollars within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Trump\u2019s remarks gained widespread attention, Bitcoin declined further and fell below 71000 dollars, marking its lowest level in several days. Additional volatility is expected as traditional futures markets reopen, particularly those linked to oil prices.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin extended its decline in recent hours after US President Donald Trump commented on rising tensions in the Middle East following the collapse of peace negotiations.&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2326,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323\/revisions\/2326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
