The blockade of Iranian ports by the United States has reduced Iran's oil exports to extremely low levels, causing Tehran to lose billions of dollars in revenue each month.Although the economic pressure has not yet forced Iran to make concessions in negotiations, the Trump administration believes that time is on the side of the United States, and the blockade measures are enhancing the effectiveness of the sanctions.

According to reports from American media, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Basset stated that the Trump administration is escalating its "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran to an "absolute isolation" action. In addition to financial sanctions, it will further restrict Iran's access to international markets, transportation networks, and financial resources through maritime blockades, restrictions on air transport, and cutting off land routes.Basset revealed during an interview at the Newsmax NPolicy summit held in Washington on Thursday that the U.S. government may seize approximately $1 billion in cryptocurrency assets this week, stating that authorities have located the relevant assets and are taking measures to isolate them. Basset also mentioned that the U.S. is cooperating with the United Arab Emirates and Oman, and coordinating with Pakistan and Turkey to attempt to cut off Iran's land transportation routes. He stated that the government's goal is to completely block Iran's oil exports and restrict international travel for Iranian officials and individuals associated with the regime. Currently, reports have not disclosed the specific cryptocurrencies, wallet addresses, executing agencies, and legal basis involved in this cryptocurrency asset seizure action, and it is also unclear whether the related actions have been officially implemented.

According to U.S. officials, despite Trump's fluctuating attitude towards restarting the war against Iran, the U.S. military is preparing plans to resume large-scale military operations against Iran.The U.S. Department of Defense has developed a new three-day strike plan against Iran, with three aircraft carriers set to be deployed in the Middle East.

The United States Central Command stated that in recent months, the U.S. military has supported the transport of over 1.25 billion barrels of crude oil from Gulf partner countries and through the Strait of Hormuz. In contrast, due to the U.S. iron-fisted blockade of Iranian ports, Iran has failed to export a single barrel of crude oil.

U.S. President Trump stated that the entire nation of Iran will be completely destroyed, and this matter will come to an end soon, at which point oil prices will plummet.

According to Saudi media outlet Hadass, citing senior sources, Washington has conveyed a message to Iran, requesting that Iran will not receive any concessions before limiting its nuclear capabilities.The progress of US-Iran negotiations depends on whether Iran responds to the Trump administration's demands regarding its nuclear capabilities. As Iran has lost control over the Strait of Hormuz, the United States no longer considers the Hormuz issue a priority.

A report from the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) identifies stablecoins, particularly USDT, as a key liquidity channel supporting Iran's shadow banking system. Licensed virtual asset service providers (VASP) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region face heightened sanctions compliance pressure and need to enhance wallet ownership identification and counterparty assessment.Soham Jethani, a partner at the law firm Septten, stated that merchants settling crypto assets into local fiat currency do not necessarily avoid sanctions risks. Liability may involve designated entities, the provision of funds or economic resources, and asset handling within the transaction chain, potentially arising before the final settlement by banks. Jethani pointed out that the name of the stablecoin or the currency in which it is priced does not determine legal ownership; specific rights depend on contractual arrangements and actual payment processes.Globally circulating stablecoins may also pose secondary sanctions risks, as indirect or historical wallet associations do not automatically constitute violations and must be assessed in conjunction with applicable regulations, transaction participants, and specific facts. In regulated markets like the UAE, licensed exchange wallets are continuously monitored, and related funds can be frozen before consumption settlements, with merchants also required to complete KYC. Regulated VASPs handling deposits and withdrawals bear the responsibility for counterparty and sanctions risk assessment and corresponding controls.

Exchanges must consult with holders of open positions before the conversion, provide advance notice, and offer them an opportunity to exit, while also providing risk disclosures.

According to The New York Times, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao recalled that one day earlier this year, he was lying in bed handling work—after struggling with chronic pain for a long time, he often worked while lying down—when suddenly the window began to shake. He got up and walked to the balcony, where he saw a trail of smoke left in the sky.Changpeng Zhao lives on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, an area that faces Iran across the Persian Gulf, and not long ago, Iran had launched a missile towards the UAE.This attack marked the beginning of a geopolitical crisis that plunged the entire region into turmoil, but Changpeng Zhao was not overly worried.
