. We need to translate each paragraph.
First paragraph: "The United States military launched strikes on Iran early Wednesday after an Apache helicopter was shot down near the Strait of Hormuz. The attack followed weeks of rising tensions in the region and marks a sharp escalation between the two countries. For crypto markets, the immediate concern isn't the fighting itself — it's what happens to oil flows through the strait, and what that does to energy costs and inflation."
Translation: "Tentera Amerika Syarikat melancarkan serangan ke atas Iran pada awal Rabu selepas sebuah helikopter Apache ditembak jatuh berhampiran Selat Hormuz. Serangan itu berikutan minggu-minggu peningkatan ketegangan di rantau itu dan menandakan eskalasi tajam antara kedua-dua negara. Bagi pasaran kripto, kebimbangan segera bukanlah pertempuran itu sendiri — tetapi apa yang berlaku kepada aliran minyak melalui selat itu, dan kesannya terhadap kos tenaga dan inflasi."
Note: "Apache helicopter" - keep "Apache" as it's a proper name. "Strait of Hormuz" - "Selat Hormuz". "crypto markets" - "pasaran kripto". "oil flows" - "aliran minyak". "energy costs" - "kos tenaga". "inflation" - "inflasi".
Second paragraph: "Why the Strait matters for crypto" - h2. Translate: "Mengapa Selat itu penting untuk kripto"
Then paragraph: "The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint. About a fifth of global petroleum passes through it daily. Any disruption — even a credible threat — ripples into energy prices. Higher oil means higher transport and production costs, which feed into inflation. And inflation is the macroeconomic force that has the most direct effect on risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum."
Translation: "Selat Hormuz adalah titik tersumbat minyak yang paling penting di dunia. Kira-kira satu perlima daripada petroleum global melaluinya setiap hari. Sebarang gangguan — walaupun ancaman yang boleh dipercayai — akan memberi kesan kepada harga tenaga. Minyak yang lebih tinggi bermakna kos pengangkutan dan pengeluaran yang lebih tinggi, yang menyumbang kepada inflasi. Dan inflasi adalah kuasa makroekonomi yang mempunyai kesan paling langsung terhadap aset berisiko seperti Bitcoin dan Ethereum."
Note: "Bitcoin and Ethereum" remain as is.
Third paragraph: "This isn't a theoretical risk. When tensions in the strait flared in the past, crude prices spiked and the dollar strengthened. Both moves typically pressure crypto prices, especially in the short term. The question now is whether this strike is a one-off or the beginning of a sustained campaign."
Translation: "Ini bukan risiko teori. Apabila ketegangan di selat itu memuncak pada masa lalu, harga minyak mentah melonjak dan dolar mengukuh. Kedua-dua pergerakan biasanya memberi tekanan kepada harga kripto, terutamanya dalam jangka pendek. Persoalannya sekarang ialah sama ada serangan ini adalah sekali sahaja atau permulaan kempen yang berterusan."
Fourth paragraph: "What traders are watching" - h2. Translate: "Apa yang diperhatikan oleh pedagang"
Then paragraph: "The biggest unknown is how Iran responds. A retaliatory strike on shipping in the strait would be the worst-case scenario for energy markets. That could push oil above $100 a barrel quickly, forcing central banks to keep rates higher for longer — the exact environment that crushed crypto through 2024 and 2026's first half."
Translation: "Perkara yang paling tidak diketahui adalah bagaimana Iran akan bertindak balas. Serangan balas terhadap perkapalan di selat itu akan menjadi senario terburuk bagi pasaran tenaga. Ini boleh mendorong minyak melebihi $100 setong dengan cepat, memaksa bank pusat mengekalkan kadar lebih tinggi untuk lebih lama — persekitaran yang sama yang menghancurkan kripto sepanjang 2024 dan separuh pertama 2026."
Note: "2024 and 2026's first half" - original says "2024 and 2026's first half". That seems odd because 2026 is future? Possibly a typo? But we keep as is. "crushed crypto" - "menghancurkan kripto".
Fifth paragraph: "There's also the timing. This happens just as the Federal Reserve is expected to deliver its next rate decision next week. A sharp rise in energy costs could change the calculus, making a pause or cut less likely. For crypto, rate cuts were the main bullish catalyst priced in for late 2026."
Translation: "Ada juga faktor masa. Ini berlaku ketika Rizab Persekutuan dijangka membuat keputusan kadar seterusnya minggu depan. Kenaikan mendadak kos tenaga boleh mengubah kiraan, menjadikan jeda atau pemotongan kurang berkemungkinan. Bagi kripto, pemotongan kadar adalah pemangkin kenaikan utama yang telah dihargakan untuk akhir 2026."
Note: "Federal Reserve" - "Rizab Persekutuan" or "Fed". Usually "Fed" is used. But we can use "Rizab Persekutuan" for clarity. "rate decision" - "keputusan kadar". "bullish catalyst" - "pemangkin kenaikan". "priced in" - "dihargakan" or "dijangkakan". I used "dihargakan" which is a bit technical but acceptable.
Sixth paragraph: "No clear exit" - h2. Translate: "Tiada jalan keluar yang jelas"
Then paragraph: "The Pentagon hasn't said whether more strikes are planned. Iran's government called the attack a violation of international law and reserved the right to respond. Diplomatic channels are open but tense. For now, the Strait of Hormuz remains open, but insurance rates for tankers are climbing — a sign the market expects trouble."
Translation: "Pentagon belum menyatakan sama ada lebih banyak serangan dirancang. Kerajaan Iran menyebut serangan itu sebagai pelanggaran undang-undang antarabangsa dan berhak untuk bertindak balas. Saluran diplomatik terbuka tetapi tegang. Buat masa ini, Selat Hormuz masih terbuka, tetapi kadar insurans untuk kapal tangki semakin meningkat — tanda pasaran menjangkakan masalah."
Note: "Pentagon" remains. "insurance rates" - "kadar insurans". "tankers" - "kapal tangki".
Seventh paragraph: "What happens next depends on whether both sides step back or escalate further. For crypto investors, that means watching oil futures as closely as Bitcoin charts. The two have rarely been more connected."
Translation: "Apa yang berlaku seterusnya bergantung kepada sama ada kedua-dua pihak berundur atau meningkatkan lagi eskalasi. Bagi pelabur kripto, ini bermakna memerhatikan niaga hadapan minyak dengan teliti seperti carta Bitcoin. Kedua-duanya jarang sekali lebih terhubung."
Note: "oil futures" - "niaga hadapan minyak". "Bitcoin charts" - "carta Bitcoin". "connected" - "terhubung".
Now meta description: Original: "US military strikes Iran after Apache downed near Strait of Hormuz. Escalation threatens oil supply, energy prices, inflation, and crypto markets."
Translation: "Tentera AS serang Iran selepas Apache ditembak jatuh ber
