The US Treasury Department has removed three Iranian airlines and two aircraft from its counterterrorism sanctions list, entities that had previously been sanctioned over links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC. The move was made under Executive Order 13224, according to Techub News, citing CryptoBriefing. At the same time, Treasury made clear that its enforcement stance toward the cryptocurrency sector remains tight. The department had already sanctioned Nobitex, described in the report as Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, in June 2026. Analysis cited by CryptoBriefing said the latest delisting has no direct impact on the crypto market. Even so, it points to continued sanctions pressure on digital-asset activity tied to the IRGC, and suggests that any crypto platform worldwide that facilitates transactions for designated entities could face the risk of being added to the sanctions list.
