Iran is Conducting Arms Sales with Cryptocurrency

Iran's Defense Ministry Export Center has started accepting cryptocurrency payments for advanced weapon systems in order to bypass international sanctions. This situation stands out as one of the first known examples of a country using cryptocurrency as a payment method for military equipment.

According to a report by the Financial Times, the use of cryptocurrency in transactions with sanctioned countries has become quite established. This new payment method emerges as part of Iran's efforts to circumvent restrictions on its international trade.
