US sanctions target crypto firms aiding Guard
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on two cryptocurrency trading platforms and a network of associated companies, accusing them of financing the Iranian regime and the Revolutionary Guard by laundering billions of dollars and circumventing U.S. sanctions. The sanctions include the platforms "Shelbit Exchange" and "Aban Tether," as well as related individuals and companies. Over one million dollars have been transferred from addresses linked to the Revolutionary Guard to these platforms, in addition to laundering tens of millions through Persian-language gambling websites. The assets of the targeted entities have been frozen in the United States, and transactions with them have been prohibited, accompanied by warnings about the consequences of violating the sanctions. These measures are part of Washington's efforts to dismantle financial networks supporting Iran.
