Tehran (Monitoring Desk) Restrictions have been imposed on several cryptocurrency wallets linked to Iran.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has claimed that crypto accounts worth $344 million belonging to Iran have been frozen.
According to him, a subsidiary of the US Treasury Department carried out the action, and pressure on Iran’s financial sources will be further increased.
The Treasury Secretary said that Iran’s financial network is being continuously tracked, adding that such measures aim to restrict Iran’s financial resources.
Media reports also claim that evidence has emerged of certain transactions related to the Strait of Hormuz being conducted through cryptocurrency, although this has not been independently verified.
