US Sanctions Six Entities and One Individual Linked to Iran's Digital Asset Network
The United States imposed sanctions on six entities and one individual linked to Iran's illicit digital asset network following recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The sanctions target two major digital asset exchanges and a network leader facilitating illicit activities across multiple jurisdictions.

Additionally, a reward of up to $15 million is offered for information on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' financial mechanisms.
