United States authorities have announced new sanctions targeting six entities and one individual for allegedly facilitating money laundering and financial operations for the Iranian regime through digital assets. The measures are designed to sever illicit financial pathways used by Tehran.
Among the sanctioned entities are two cryptocurrency platforms linked to Iran. One of these platforms, Shelbit, processed more than $6.3 billion in transactions between May 2024 and March 2026 in an effort to evade existing international sanctions.
