Some wallets may belong to crypto services used by many—not just Iran’s military
The IRGC has long been suspected of using crypto to dodge sanctions. This move follows a June hack where $90M in Iranian crypto was “burned” by a group linked to Israel.
⚠️ Digital currencies are now front-line weapons in global conflict. This isn’t just about crypto—it’s about how blockchain is becoming a battlefield.

✅ If the deal goes through, it could set a precedent for how global platforms navigate geopolitical firestorms.
