Masoumeh Taherkhani, an economic analyst, referring to sanctions on a financial network associated with the Islamic Republic in Canada, said that transferring the sanctions’ scope from Asia to Canada shows that the United States is seeking to limit the Islamic Republic’s financial routes around the world.

She added that the cryptocurrency network and the transfers of Tether and Bitcoin are also traceable, and while these actions do not block all routes for moving money, they increase the cost and difficulty for the Islamic Republic to bypass the sanctions.
