Washington sanctions crypto platforms linked to Iran
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on digital currency exchange platforms and websites, as well as a network of companies used by Iran to support the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which Washington considers responsible for laundering billions of dollars and circumventing international sanctions. The sanctions targeted two main platforms in Tehran, along with "Shelbit" company in the UAE, Georgia, and Poland, as well as the Iranian platform "Aban Tater," in addition to an Iranian individual who manages a network supporting illicit digital operations. These networks exploited unlicensed digital transfer platforms to help conceal the origin of funds, aiming to finance IRGC activities, according to the Treasury Department, which confirmed that the measures are part of the "maximum pressure" policy on Iran. The department also announced a reward of up to $15 million for information that could help disrupt the IRGC's funding mechanisms.
