Bitcoin edged higher after Donald Trump publicly rebuked Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, an incident that unfolded on the same day he promised a definitive Iran peace accord.
Political Developments
Trump posted on Truth Social that the Beirut attack “should not have happened,” emphasizing that the targeted area suffered minimal damage and no fatalities. He stressed that Israel retains the right to self‑defense but warned the incident could jeopardize the anticipated agreement with Iran.
Lebanon’s civil defense authority reported at least three casualties and seven injuries, according to Al Jazeera. The statement contrasts with Trump’s claim that the response was “very small and meaningless,” highlighting the tension between on‑ground reports and political rhetoric.
