Bitcoin briefly slipped below the $100,000 mark on Monday amid escalating geopolitical tensions. An Israeli official confirmed to Haaretz that Iran had launched six missiles toward a US military base in Qatar and another toward a base in Iraq.
The strike followed witness reports of explosions heard over Doha, Qatar’s capital, as reported by Reuters.
Iran’s attacks come as a response to the US military strikes on its nuclear facilities, specifically the coordinated airstrikes carried out by the US targeting key Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The digital asset hit as high as $102,600 earlier today before dropping under the six-figure threshold.
