US SHIFTS FROM MILITARY ATTACKS TO “ECONOMIC WAR” WITH IRAN
🔸 According to Axios, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told allies that the U.S. currently does not plan to carry out additional airstrikes on Iran in the near future, instead focusing on sanctions and economic pressure.
🔸 The Trump administration is rolling out “Operation Economic Outcast,” expanding sanctions into sectors such as digital assets, gold, technology, maritime and transportation, to tighten Iran’s ability to access the international financial system.
🔸 Notably for the crypto market, digital assets are becoming one of the fronts in this campaign. A report that has been circulated says the U.S. has seized nearly $1B worth of crypto assets linked to Iran since May, but the figure should be viewed with caution because independent verification is limited.
🔸 Reducing priority for military attacks while increasing financial pressure may help ease some near-term geopolitical risks, but at the same time keep cash flows, oil, and the crypto market sensitive to further sanctions moves.
The Iran front is shifting from missiles to money and the financial system. This could be an important factor for markets in the coming weeks.
