The United States has seized around $1 billion in cryptocurrency associated with Iran, as part of a campaign under 'Operation Economic Fury' aimed at cutting off Tehran's funding sources. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted that this initiative seeks to restrict Iran's access to international revenue, banking networks, and cryptocurrency infrastructure. He noted that the pressure campaign has intensified Iran's economic difficulties, with inflation soaring above 200%, resulting in unpaid military personnel and police officers failing to report for duty. The U.S. has also targeted shadow banking networks and sanctioned officials involved in facilitating oil sales alongside Iran-backed militias. Furthermore, Bessent indicated that Iranian authorities have implemented food vouchers and internet shutdowns in response to the deteriorating economic situation. This seizure reflects the U.S. government's ongoing efforts to disrupt financial channels that benefit the Iranian regime, which previously moved hundreds of millions of dollars monthly before U.S. intervention.
