The National Office for Financing against the Terror of Israel (NBCTF) has published a list of 187 cryptocurrency addresses that, he says, are linked to the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran (IRGC), a group sanctioned and designated as a terrorist by the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom and Canada.
According to the Blockchain Elliptic analysis firm, these directions collectively received $ 1.5 billion in USDT, the stable of Tether Dollar. However, Elliptical warned that it cannot verify that all these funds are directly connected to the IRGC, since some wallets may belong to exchanges or services used by multiple clients.
The use of USDT exposes such wallets to one of Tether’s most powerful compliance tools: the blacklist. Of the 187 addresses marked by Israel, 39 had already been frozen by Tether as of September 13, avoiding more transfers of approximately $ 1.5 million in USDT.
The Iran’s revolutionary guard has been linked to illicit cryptographic activity for years. Last week, the US Department of Justice was seized almost $ 600,000 in the USDT of an Iranian national accused of building drone navigation systems for IRGC.
In December 2024, the US Treasury sanctions. Uu. They directed the wallets linked to the IRGC networks that move more than $ 300 million in Stablecoins through an intermediary connected to the Yemen hutis.
And in June 2025, the Pro-Israel Gonjashke Darende (“Sparrow Predator”) robbed Group Robded $ 90 million of the Iranian Cryptocurrency Exchange Nobitex, which elliptical and others have linked to IRGC activities, including ransomware operations. The computer pirates “burned” the stolen funds in the dressing room wallets marked with anti-RIRGC slogans, and even leaked the noblex source code.
The trick was seen as a hammer blow to Iran, which is alleged that used cryptography to evade sanctions.
