🚨✨️💥 The United States has seized $344 million worth of cryptocurrencies from Iran, offering a glimpse into how sanctions warfare operates in 2026.


The economic pressure campaign launched by the Trump administration against Iran has significantly moved on-chain.
The Treasury Department froze $344 million in USDT across two addresses on the Tron network, one holding approximately $213 million and the other about $131 million, after blockchain analyses confirmed physical links to the Iranian regime, including transactions with Iranian exchanges and wallets connected to the Central Bank of Iran.
Tether directly cooperated with the seizure operation, executing the freeze after information was shared by U.S. authorities.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clearly explained this, saying: "We will follow the money that Tehran desperately tries to move out of the country and target all financial lifelines connected to the regime."
