The United States has sanctioned several cryptocurrency wallets linked to Iran’s central bank, freezing more than $130 million in digital assets.
The move marks a significant expansion of Washington’s financial pressure on Tehran, targeting the nation’s efforts to utilize decentralized finance to circumvent traditional banking restrictions.
According to Pentagon assessments, the US has imposed a cumulative financial burden of $4.
This action adds to the substantial economic strain already placed on Iran.
According to Pentagon assessments, the US has imposed a cumulative financial burden of $4.8 billion on the country through its ongoing naval blockade.
The new sanctions on digital wallets represent a shift toward targeting non-traditional financial channels, aiming to close loopholes that Tehran has sought to exploit.
The sanctions come amid escalating tensions in the region.
