The large-scale airstrike operation launched by Israel recently, codenamed "Lion's Rise," has provoked a strong reaction from Iran. This military action targeted over 100 sites within Iran, including nuclear facilities and military bases, causing a sharp escalation in tensions in the Middle East.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has clearly stated that it will take retaliatory measures against Israel, emphasizing that Israel will undoubtedly pay a high price for this military action. At the same time, the Iranian authorities have also pointed the finger at the United States, accusing it not only of supporting this military action but also of having knowledge of relevant intelligence prior to the operation.

As a direct countermeasure, Iran has launched more than 100 drones in the direction of Israel, causing the airspace of both countries to be forced to close for a time. The rapid escalation of such military confrontation has aroused widespread concern in the international community, and leaders of many countries have called on all parties to the conflict to exercise rational restraint and prevent further deterioration of regional conflicts.

The recent rise in geopolitical risks has had a noticeable impact on global financial markets. Bitcoin's price has dropped to $104,971, a decline of about 2%; Ethereum has seen a more significant drop of approximately 7%, trading at $2,547.09. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Index ETF has risen slightly by 0.36%, priced at $603.75. Notably, gold ETFs, which are considered traditional safe-haven assets, increased by 1.23% to $312.20, reflecting investors' tendency to seek safety amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.

The current developments in the Middle East remain unclear, and the international community is closely monitoring the situation, hoping to ease tensions through diplomatic means and prevent further escalation of conflicts.
