Crypto Fueling Weapons Programs for Sanctioned States: FATF

North Korea and Iran are among the states leveraging digital assets to bypass international sanctions, says the Financial Action Task Force.


According to a report published Monday by the Council on Foreign Relations, at least 10 Iranian scientists had been killed in the strikes as of then, including the former head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization Fereydoon Abbasi and the organization’s former deputy head Amir Hossein Feqhi.

And on Tuesday, Iranian state media announced the death of Mohammad Reza Seddighi Saber, who was working on Iran’s nuclear weapons program and was among multiple people sanctioned earlier this year by the US State Department and Treasury.
