Iran Screams 'Death to America' While Their Central Bank Just Bought $507M of American Dollars

In this commentary, the speaker argues that the United States has weaponized cryptocurrency—specifically U.S.-backed stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and newer private digital dollars such as USD1—to enforce sanctions on Iran and reshape global dollar dominance. He outlines how Iran’s central bank, under pressure from U.S. “Economic Fury” sanctions, purchased $507 million of USDT to prop up the rial, only to have those assets frozen by Tether at the behest of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The narrative then expands to show how private American firms (Tether, Circle, World Liberty Financial) are becoming de‑facto extensions of U.S. national‑security policy, effectively “re‑privatizing” the dollar and giving the government a digital kill‑switch. Key actors—real‑estate mogul Steve Witkoff (U.S. special envoy), his son Zach Witkoff (co‑founder of World Liberty Financial and creator of the USD1 stablecoin), and Pakistan’s finance minister Mohammed Aurangzeb (ex‑J.P. Morgan executive)—are presented as the architects linking the new digital‑dollar rail to Pakistan’s payment system, pulling the country away from China. The speaker highlights regulatory milestones (Kraken’s Federal Reserve account, crypto firms obtaining national bank charters) that embed stablecoins into the traditional banking infrastructure, turning them into powerful sanctions‑enforcement tools. He frames this as the latest U.S. technology war, likening it to the rise of Google, and claims that the resulting “digital dollar upgrade” will funnel massive capital into U.S. stablecoins, strengthen the dollar, and create a limited set of lucrative crypto investment opportunities for those who position themselves early. The monologue ends with a call to join his community to profit from the anticipated wealth transfer.
Chapters
The same country screaming death to America on state television is now running its central bank on American digital dollars. America just trapped Iran inside the US dollar using crypto as the cage. And what they did to Iran proves something that nobody is saying out loud. Crypto isn't just an alternative to the dollar. Crypto is literally the dollar's next chapter. And the people who see this are about to win big. We are about to watch hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars, Flood into the U.S. economy on crypto rails. But if you don't see this properly, you're going to keep thinking that these are just some random war headlines, and you're going to miss the entire move. The United States is doing something it has done over and over again with groundbreaking technology, and now it's doing it with the dollar itself. When I show you the names behind every one of these events, you are never going to be able to unsee it. I'm going to show you how a former J.P. Morgan executive now. Makes crypto decisions for the entire country of Pakistan, and how the U.S. is using this for our advantage. Let's go back to April eighth. Everyone heard Trump announce a ceasefire with Iran, and most people thought that the war was over. But then we all kept hearing about more war. That's because the ceasefire only applies to bombs, missiles, and planes. Meanwhile, the Iran blockade on the Strait of Hormuz is still in effect. So when you see the headline "Trump extended the ceasefire on a Tuesday," and then Iran seizes two ships on the same Tuesday, most people get confused. And think it's a mistake. It's not. This is the new shape of war. The bombs stopped, but the money war went to another level. Think about this for a second. Whether you're a good guy or a bad guy, if you want to get anyone to give you anything or do anything for you, you need to pay them. So by attacking the Iranian terrorist money supply, the U.S. is taking the most direct path to ending their violence. But this is just what everyone sees on the surface. To understand what I'm saying, you have to look back in time. You have to see how a sanctioned country like Iran has been Moving money for the last 20 years. Sanction basically means that America was putting highly restrictive money and export rules against Iran to bankrupt them from funding the violence. But Iran consistently found ways around this and kept funding the violence for decades. They've been smuggling oil on shadow fleets of ships. A shadow fleet is just a bunch of old tanker ships with their lights turned off, flying other countries' flags, transferring oil in the middle of the ocean from ship to ship so nobody can prove where the oil came from. After they sneak the oil out of Iran to avoid the U.S. sanctions, it usually gets sold to a Chinese refinery for cash or for gold. The gold moves through Hezbollah middlemen. I'm sure you've heard this name before in the news, and Iran has been using them to move money and gold under the table for decades to dodge the sanctions that the U.S. has been trying to crush them with. The cash gets laundered through offshore accounts and fake companies that look legit on paper. That's how Iran has funded the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. But it gets deeper. Inside the IRGC, there's a smaller team called the Quds Force. This is basically Iran's special ops. They are Iran's hands outside of Iran's borders. They're the ones who fly to Yemen and give weapons to the Houthis, the terrorist group. Without the Quds Force, none of these other groups exist. And the Houthis that I just mentioned, same playbook as Hezbollah. They are basically Iran's fighters in Yemen, which is another Middle Eastern country. Iran also built these guys up, gave them weapons and money, and for the last 2 years The Houthis have been firing Iranian missiles at cargo ships that are trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz. We're talking about a terrorist group who is literally targeting the choke point of the entire global economy. So picture the whole pipeline: smuggled oil at the top, cash and gold in the middle, Hezbollah laundering, the Quds Force distributing, and dozens of terrorist army groups in different countries getting paid from this same pipeline to do Iran's dirty work. This is the pipeline America just dismantled. The obvious question is: How in the world? How in the world did America dismantle something that's so undercover? I'm about to show you how, and honestly, it's incredible. Trump signed a policy on the first day of his presidency called NSPM-2. It stands for National Security Presidential Memorandum 2. Basically, that's the maximum pressure plan against Iran. It's a big green light for the US Treasury and the US State Department to go after every single one of Iran's money pipelines that we just talked about. On April 15th, that's exactly what they did. Like a bunch of Marvel superheroes, they did a joint takedown that the US government government called Economic Fury. First, they targeted the guy at the top. His name is Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. Let's just call him the Smuggler. The Smuggler was running the biggest oil smuggling empire that Iran has. We're talking billions of dollars of smuggled oil running straight out of Dubai. But here's the wild part: he's not just some random smuggler. His father is named Ali Shamkhani, and he's the same guy who ran Iran's National Security Council for 10 straight years. That's like Iran's version of the head of Homeland Security in the White House. So the man running Iran's biggest oil smuggling network is the son of the man who used to run Iran's entire national security. That's how plugged in this thing was. The most connected operation in the whole regime. In 72 hours, the US wiped it out. But that wasn't the only one. In the same 72 hours, the US Treasury also took out a second part of the pipeline. This was an oil-for-gold pipeline, and it was funding both Hezbollah and the Quds Force directly, both groups we just talked about. Both of their funding lines cut. And this isn't the first time the US has used money to take out these Iranian terrorist networks. Back in January, the US sanctioned 2 crypto exchanges called ZedSecs and Zedzion. These are UK-registered crypto exchanges, so they look totally legit on paper, London-based, but underneath they were basically IRGC money machines. They were backdoors that Iran was using to move money, avoiding the US sanctions. The bigger one, ZedChecks, listen to this number, moved over $94 billion through their system before they got shut down. The only reason we know any of this is because of a company called Chainalysis. They are the biggest blockchain investigating company in the world. They literally work with the FBI and the US Treasury and have been tracking all of this on-chain. In 2026, they dropped a crime report and listen to what they found. Crypto sanctions evasion went up 7 times last year. We're talking about a 7x in countries using crypto to avoid sanctions. The report also showed that IRGC-linked wallets received double the amount of money that they did in 2025. They doubled their shadow crypto banking in a single year, and we're not even halfway through 2026 yet. But here's the kicker. Every single transaction Iran made is sitting on a public blockchain forever. They left a fingerprint on every dollar. The oil, the gold, the shadow banks, the offshore exchanges, all of those doors we just talked about are getting nailed shut by the US government very quickly. Leaving them with no other option. So while everyone's focusing on the headlines, looking for bombs and missiles and all that stuff, what's really happening is America is bleeding Iran out economically. And what Iran is resorting to is where this gets even crazier and honestly really bullish for my crypto portfolio. The answer to what Iran's central bank resorted to? A US digital dollar called USDT. So when Iran's central bank ran to Tether's USDT, that wasn't just Iran being desperate. That was Iran finally doing at government scale what every single country around them already did. Iran tried to escape something nobody in their region has ever been able to. And when I explain to you the power grip that America just got on Iran by forcing them into digital dollars, it will blow your mind. In case you don't know what Tether is, Tether is a stablecoin. Well, it's actually the company that runs the USDT stablecoin. A stablecoin is just a digital dollar Iran's central bank bought over $507 million worth of USDT. I'm not making this up. There is another crypto investigation firm called Elliptic. They are based in London and they trace crypto transactions for governments and banks all over the world. They confirmed that Iran's central bank bought at least $507 million in Tether to prop up their own currency, the Iranian rial, which was spiraling downwards due to the economic pressure America was hitting them with. The country that goes on state television and screams death to America, that same country is running its central bank on digital American dollars. They literally cannot operate without us. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it gets crazier somehow. Remember the Strait of Hormuz I mentioned earlier? The choke point where 20% of the world's oil flows through every day? During the ceasefire, Iran tried to set up a toll booth where they were charging a $1 tax for every barrel of oil that passed through the strait. And you have to think, some of these ships have millions of barrels on them. This is not a small amount of money. But get this, they said the toll had to be paid in crypto. So the obvious question is paid in what crypto? Here's where it gets good. For a little while, the Bitcoin maxis convinced the world that Iran was taking Bitcoin as payment. But then the truth came out. There's a US banking think tank called BPI, which stands for the Bank Policy Institute. This is basically just the world's best brains in banking all together in one place. You know what they found? On April 19th, They came out and said what Iran is actually collecting as payment at that toll booth. Can you guess? The answer is Tether's USDT almost entirely. Why? Because nothing else actually works at scale. And here's the part I said will give you peace. After the US masterfully cornered them into using the US digital dollar, they got to show off some of its cool technology. They got Tether to freeze the USDT in Iranian bad guys' crypto wallets. Tether can actually freeze USDT? Which is a required option for all stablecoin companies under the Genius Act, created exactly for this sort of situation. When the Iranian terrorists were using cash, there was nothing the American government could do to stop the terrorism. But now that the US government forced them into a corner where they desperately resorted to digital dollars, it's checkmate. When the US found out what Iran's central bank was doing, they got Tether to blacklist Iran's wallets and freeze a bunch of USDT inside their wallets too. And that was just the beginning. We're going to come back to the full scale of that kill switch in a few minutes. And I know what you might be thinking, but trust me on this, this is a good thing. Iran cannot escape the dollar. Every single time they try, they reach for something else, and then they still end up on the dollar. But this time, a dollar that the US can freeze when it's being used to fund inhumane war crimes and terrorism. What we just covered is not a prediction, it is not a theory. These are actual moves happening right now, caught on a public ledger. Now, every time they try to evade sanctions A crypto analysis firm takes a screenshot and sends it to the U.S. government, and the U.S. nails another door shut. This trap has been beautifully set by America, and if you're watching what I'm watching, I'm about to show you how ahead of the game the U.S. government really is. So I just talked about how the U.S. is closing all the old rails for Iranian money, and we just covered that the new rail is stablecoins. But this leaves us with the question: Who is building this new rail? I'm about to walk you through three names, and then I want you to tell me if this is a coincidence. I guarantee you won't. Name number one, Steve Witkoff. Witkoff is a New York real estate mogul. He's been Donald Trump's close personal friend and business partner for over 40 years. They've been doing business deals together since the 1980s. This is not just some random political guy. Some people call him Trump's right-hand man. And in January of this year, Trump made him the official U.S. special envoy to the Middle East. That means that he is the lead negotiator with Iran for America and with Saudi Arabia and with Israel and with every single player in the Middle East. And remember those Iran talks back on April 11th and 12th in Pakistan? Witkoff personally led the entire 300-person negotiation. He flew there. He sat across from Iran's negotiators. He was the guy in the room for the US alongside Vice President J.D. Vance and Jared Kushner. Name number 2, Zach Witkoff, our friend Steve's son. Zach is the co-founder and CEO of a little company called World Liberty Financial. The ticker is WLFI. This is the Trump and Witkoff family's crypto venture. President Trump himself and his sons publicly listed as co-founders. World Liberty Financial issued a stablecoin called USD1. Same exact idea as Tether. It's just a digital dollar backed 1-to-1 with US Treasuries or cash. Name number 3. And this is where things start to click. His name is Mohammed Aurangzeb. He is Pakistan's finance minister since 2024. But here's what nobody is talking about with this guy. Before he became Pakistan's top finance guy, he spent over 25 years in banking with most of those spent at Citibank and JP Morgan. The CEO of J.P. Morgan's entire global corporate bank for Asia Pacific. This is not a politician; this is a Wall Street career banker, and he's now running the finances of the biggest nuclear armed military in the entire Middle East region. And in January of this year, the younger Whitkoff, Zach, flew to Pakistan and signed a deal directly with this same finance minister to put USD one, the World Liberty Finance stablecoin, onto Pakistan's payment rails alongside Pakistan's digital rupee. We now have United States digital dollars plugged. Into the most influential country for the Middle East from a handshake from a former JP Morgan CEO. And here's the part that should hit you. Pakistan now has 40 million crypto users and over $300 billion in annual crypto trading volume. This is bigger than most countries. So when USD1 plugs into Pakistan, it's not plugging into a small market. It goes even farther. On April 14th, remember, Pakistan ended its 7-year ban on crypto banking. They flipped the legal switch. That's one day after America put the blockade on Iran and on April 20th. That law went live, and the part you won't see on the news: this whole operation just pulled Pakistan out of China's orbit. You know how I told you Pakistan is the most influential military country in the Middle Eastern region? Well, they were drifting towards China for the past ten years. They were getting large-scale Chinese loans, putting in Chinese ports, making Chinese weapons deals. But now Pakistan is the first major Muslim country plugged into an American stablecoin. Now they're mediating peace talks between the U.S. and Iran on behalf of the United States, with a former J.P. Morgan executive running their. This is not a coincidence. This is their reward for picking the right rail and making friends with the U.S. This setup is nothing new. America has done this many times over the last 30 years. This is the strategy: when a dangerous dominant technology shows up, America doesn't hand it to the government. America doesn't hand it to other hostile countries. America hands it to a private American champion. The champion and those who invest in it get rich. The dollar gets stronger, the enemy gets left behind, and the American company has to answer to shareholders and to the public, which is a second check on government power. This is how America has fought and won the last 3 technology wars. They did it with search engines, with Google, and that's why we dominate the internet today. Let's look back for a second. For about 112 years now, the Federal Reserve has been the American answer to money. And here's what most people don't know: the Federal Reserve actually started in 1913. This is why this stablecoin setup is so exciting to me. America is reprivatizing the dollar. America is handing the dollar dominance back to a consortium of American companies. When we talked about World Liberty Financial, or Circle with USDC, or Tether with USDT, or even some of the biggest banks in the U.S., we're not talking about a centralized power like the Federal Reserve. We're talking about individual American companies that answer to their shareholders. This is the exact strategy. These companies are literally a private extension of American national security, and they are also decentralizing the power of the dollar away from the Federal Reserve. And they all still have to listen to the U.S. government and enforce U.S. sanctions on hostile forces. And here's where this strategy goes from theoretical to absolutely wild in practice. Tether, the same stablecoin Iran's central bank Rantoo holds $141 billion in US Treasuries. This makes it the 18th largest holder of US government debt on Earth. That's more than Germany, more than the UAE, and more than Australia. So we're talking about a private American company that funds the US government more than some large countries. Google never did that. Amazon never did that. Palantir never did that. This is that same playbook on steroids. The private American company isn't just dominating its sector and protecting our country, but it's literally funding the U.S. government while doing it. And then there's the kill switch. If you want to see it in action, look back to the finale of the Economic Fury operation I talked about. Tether and the OFAC, which is the Office of Foreign Assets Control. It's basically the United States government's financial intelligence and enforcement agency. So when countries try to avoid sanctions like Iran, this is the agency that gets them. They froze $344 million in stablecoins linked to Iran's central bank. The IRGC Quds Force and Hezbollah. So basically, the U.S. cornered them into using an asset and then immediately froze it. The Treasury didn't have to seize anything physical. They didn't have to send Marines anywhere to risk their lives. They sent a message, and a private company hit a button. There is now a much easier way to stop terrorism. And the best part? The government didn't need to issue a central bank digital currency, the CBDC. Because the government has something even better. It has American private champions. It has capitalism, and it's about to give the American digital dollar dominance for the next century. The dollar is already everywhere. 57% of every central bank reserve on Earth is held in US dollars. 89% of foreign trading is done in US dollars. And this digital upgrade? Now the dollar is faster and it's digital, and the US government can shut off any bad guy from using it whenever they want. The dollar is not losing. The dollar is upgrading, and it is upgrading even more by going private and taking back some of the power from the Federal Reserve. And at this point, if you think what I'm saying is crazy, you just haven't been watching the laws they've been pushing through Washington, D.C. I'm about to walk you through the full stack. Every one of these things is going to look small until I tell you what it actually means for the rest of the world when they all click together. March 4th, Kraken, which is a crypto exchange born on the internet, became the first crypto-native bank in American history to get a Federal Reserve account. A A Fed account means that you are plugged directly into the global money network that runs the world. This same network moves $5 trillion a day across the US banking system. That's the same pipes that Bank of America, JP Morgan, and Wells Fargo use. A crypto exchange is now on those pipes. I'm sure with more to follow soon. What this means is every stablecoin issued in the United States is becoming a sanctions enforcement agent like we saw with Tether. So if I was to summarize all of this, The biggest part people are missing about these stablecoins is that we're literally taking back a lot of power from the Federal Reserve and putting it into the hands of American shareholders again. And at this point, there's already 5 crypto firms that hold National Trust Bank charters from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. Those charters make them nationally recognized banks. They can operate in all 50 states, and they are now in position to follow Kraken's lead and apply for Federal Reserve accounts. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank in the world, is already moving over $5 billion per day on blockchain rails through their own blockchain. Citibank is clearing $1 billion per day, and BlackRock just crossed $2 billion in assets on-chain in their money market fund. The rest of the world is scrambling to catch up right now. The most common wrong thing that I hear is everyone keeps asking, does this weaken the dollar? The answer is simple: it upgrades the dollar. And every single move I just showed you makes the dollar stronger, not weaker. What the world runs on right now is a technology called Swift. It was built in 1973. Stablecoins plugged into Fed-connected crypto accounts is the new technology. The world will keep using dollars, just faster and cheaper ones now. And think about the demand for U.S. Treasuries, which is literally funding the U.S. government, that is going to come from the stablecoin explosion across the world. It's actually beautiful. A lot of people are worried about China's central bank digital currency taking over, but the U.S. Is beating them by handing dollar dominance to American companies the same way we use Google, Palantir, and Amazon to secure every other industry. And the whole time taking power away from the Fed and putting it in the hands of American shareholders. So the US tore out the old rail and handed the new rail back to the people. I'm not going to lie to you and say that you're not behind if you didn't know all of this, but it's not too late. Honestly, most people refuse to accept this truth still today, but there is a clock on this and it's running out fast. The federal agencies are finalizing the rules right now as we speak, and within the next few months, the companies and the people that are positioned are going to win huge. Those who are not positioned will get left behind and they'll get forced onto the new rail after people like me made all of our money already. As I said, we've watched this story unfold many times throughout American history. But I'm giving you the chance right now to decide which side of the trade you're on before the rest of the world catches up. I track this stuff every single day. It's my life. So if you don't have time to dig through the legislation and the laws and piece all of the puzzle together yourself, you should join my community. I'm constantly uncovering the methods by which the money flowing in from these stablecoins and this global rail switch are going to hit crypto coins that I hold. Don't believe what they tell you when they say every single crypto coin is gonna win from this big wealth transfer. That is not the truth. There will be a limited amount of winners, and I'm telling you, if you pick the right ones, you can really change the trajectory of your family's destiny.
