The United States announces sanctions against a Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange, citing allegations that it has aided Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Multiple reports, including one attributed to Reuters and repeated by other outlets, say the action targets the exchange for facilitating or enabling financial activity linked to the IRGC. The sanction decision is presented as part of the US effort to pressure Iran’s IRGC through controls on entities and services that could support the group’s operations or access to financial systems. The reports do not indicate that the exchange has publicly admitted wrongdoing in the coverage provided. They also focus on the basis for the US action—alleged IRGC-related support—rather than broader claims about the exchange’s other business operations. The Dubai exchange is described as being located in the United Arab Emirates, and the US measure is portrayed as additional scrutiny of cryptocurrency platforms in the region that could be used for sanctioned activity. Details on the specific sanctions, any named individuals, and the legal reasoning are referenced as stemming from the initial report, with subsequent coverage aligning on the core allegation and the fact that sanctions are imposed.
