US Treasury Seizes $1.5 Billion in Iranian Crypto Assets Amid Ongoing Sanctions

The US Treasury Department has announced the seizure of approximately $1.5 billion in virtual assets owned by Iran, with Secretary Scott Bessent stating that 'we have secured Iran's entire cryptocurrency wallet.'

This move represents a key achievement in the economic war against Iran led by President Donald Trump and comes as the country continues to impose new sanctions on Iran.

Despite ongoing peace negotiations between the two countries, the US remains prepared to tighten its economic pressure on Iran, with Secretary Bessent warning that additional sanctions could be imposed at any time if an agreement is not reached.
