Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

The Trump administration and the U.S. military are finalizing preparations for a possible return to “major” combat operations against Iran, just one day after Democrats won control of Congress. The renewed geopolitical risk threatens to unwind a relief rally that had lifted equities, pushed oil sharply lower and supported bitcoin. The article ties the shift to Washington’s post-midterm posture, with a divided Congress potentially constraining domestic policy while foreign policy stays in focus. For crypto markets, the key transmission channel is risk sentiment: a return to major combat could revive safe-haven demand for the dollar and pressure bitcoin, which had benefited from the de-escalation trade. What to watch next is whether the administration confirms the deployment and how oil, equities and the dollar react at the next open.
