US-Iran tensions flare again as bitcoin defends $80K

  • —US intelligence says Iran's plans to strike Americans are at an advanced stage
  • —Washington is drawing down staff at Middle East embassies, including in Saudi Arabia
  • —US and Israel have prepared a new strike plan on Iran after the Nov. 3 midterms
  • —Bitcoin holds near $80K as oil and inflation risks build
Why it matters: A wider Middle East conflict could spike oil and inflation, pushing investors away from risk assets and pressuring bitcoin.
