U.S. Justice Department's claim regarding efforts to seize $61 million of Iran’s oil revenue 🔺The U.S. Justice Department claimed early Tuesday that it had filed a lawsuit to seize "approximately $61 million of cryptocurrency revenue from the sale of Iranian crude oil and sanctioned petroleum products in the black market." 🔺"Shan Buckley," an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, claimed that this action demonstrates our resolve to deprive the Iranian government and its proxy groups of the illegal money they rely on to threaten the lives and safety of U.S. citizens and others. 🔺In another part of his baseless claims, he said, "As stated in this complaint, the Iranian government used a network of cryptocurrency actors in China and elsewhere to launder over $1.5 billion in illegal oil money to benefit the military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."
