Why Pro-Israel Group's $90M Crypto Hack Could Be a Hammer Blow for Iran's Regime

A $90 million crypto hack just turned into a geopolitical wrecking ball—and Tehran's the target.

When digital assets vanish, regimes tremble

The pro-Israel group's blockchain strike didn't just drain wallets—it exposed Iran's financial weak spots. No SWIFT? No problem. Decentralized ledgers don't ask for passports.

Sanction-busting goes both ways

For years, crypto's been Tehran's lifeline against dollar dominance. Now the tech's biting back—with interest. Talk about poetic justice for a regime that weaponized Tether.

The new cold war's fought in hexadecimal

Forget proxy militias. The real battleground's on-chain. This $90M hit proves crypto's not just money—it's ammunition. And unlike fiat, these bullets leave forensic trails.

Bonus cynicism: Nothing unites warring factions like the chance to launder money—err, 'preserve wealth'—through DeFi.
