US 'Seizes' $1Bn in Iran's Crypto Assets

Описание: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has claimed that Washington has seized roughly $1 billion in Iranian cryptocurrency assets as part of its broader economic pressure campaign against Tehran. Speaking about the impact of US sanctions and military measures, Bessent said the combined pressure has significantly weakened Iran's economy and financial networks. According to Bessent, Iranian security personnel have faced salary disruptions, inflation has surged, and authorities have reportedly resorted to distributing food vouchers amid mounting economic challenges. He also alleged that Iranian leaders were diverting between $400 million and $500 million per month that should have benefited the Iranian people.
