The US seized Iranian crypto assets worth $1 billion

US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, announced yesterday (May 29, 2026) a significant success in the fight against Iranian financing, with the seizure of crypto assets with a cumulative value of approximately $1 billion.

According to a report on ynet news, the US administration officially confirmed the execution of the seizure, a move that constitutes an economic blow to the regime in Tehran. The details were also verified by Asaf Rozenzweig, News from the Big World, who reported on the matter under the headline "We seized about a billion dollars of Iran in cryptocurrencies."

In the sector identified with critical positions toward Iran and the Islamic regime, Abu Ali Express highlighted Secretary Bessent's words, according to which "there may be those who still haven't understood that the money was seized from their wallet," and that this is "money stolen from the Iranian people." This channel, which frequently deals with the security affairs of Israel and the Middle East, presented the move as a positive and significant step within the framework of the international pressure exerted on Iran and the Revolutionary Guards.
