BTC Tensions between the United States and Iran continue, and the Strait of Hormuz becomes the focus of the game.
Tensions between the United States and Iran have been going on for several months. The Strait of Hormuz, as a key strategic location for the two countries, is of self-evident importance. In this context, the U.S. Treasury Department recently announced that it would add BitBank, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Iran, to the sanctions list, accusing it of allegedly assisting Iran in circumventing sanctions. The decision was officially announced by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Allegations: BitBank processed payments related to the Strait of Hormuz and transferred Bitcoin
OFAC alleges that BitBank processed payments related to passage through the Strait of Hormuz and was used to transfer Bitcoin to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). OFAC said in a statement: "The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has added BitBank to the sanctions list as part of the Trump administration's 'Operation Economic Exclusion' comprehensive economic offensive against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its supporters."
According to the U.S. Treasury Department, since June this year, the Hormuz Safe Marine Services Authority, which is subject to OFAC sanctions, has been using BitBank to transfer money it receives to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Accordingly, OFAC accused BitBank of transferring hundreds of millions of dollars in Bitcoin to the Revolutionary Guards, which control a large part of Iran's economy.
声明中进一步指出：“……自今年6月以来，已被OFAC制裁的霍尔木兹安全海事服务公司一直在利用BitBank将其收到的付款转移给伊朗政权。”
此前，美国已因该公司为穿越霍尔木兹海峡的商业船只提供海事服务及类似保险的业务实践而对其实施制裁。财政部曾宣布，霍尔木兹安全公司接受比特币和其他数字资产作为支付手段。
美方强硬表态：支持伊朗政权者必受制裁
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）表示：“今日关于伊朗数字资产基础设施的发现清楚地表明，伊朗政权利用加密货币进行自我融资的努力并未逃脱OFAC的监管范围。如果你支持伊朗政权，财政部将对你实施制裁。”
除BitBank外，OFAC近期还将BitBank的开发公司Pishtaz Simorgh电子商务公司，以及三名此前被制裁的伊朗金融家巴巴克·赞贾尼（Babak Zanjani）的合作伙伴——侯赛因·阿里·扎克尔·侯赛因（Hossein Ali Zaker Hossein）、穆罕默德·马赫迪·扎克尔·侯赛因（Mohammad Mahdi Zaker Hossein）和赛义德·阿德尔·海达里（Seyed Adel Heidari）——列入制裁名单。OFAC声明称：“最近被列入制裁名单的这些实体和个人，是伊朗政权基于数字资产的规避制裁基础设施的关键组成部分。”
