Tel Aviv, Israel – In a high-level diplomatic confirmation of previous intelligence and economic reports, the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, confirmed the news regarding senior leaders in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard smuggling billions of dollars out of Iran, considering it an indication of the regime’s readiness for the post-fall phase in Tehran.
Diplomatic irony and a confirmation of reality
Ambassador Huckabee sarcastically commented on these massive transfers via his official X-rated account, saying, “I sent these Iranian officials my bank account details so they could transfer this money to my insurance company… Surely they can trust me, at least as much as the rest of the world trusts them!” With this comment, Huckabee reinforced a report published by Israel’s Channel 14, which cited informed economic sources stating that Revolutionary Guard officials had transferred approximately $1.5 billion out of the country in the past 48 hours alone.
Mojtaba Khamenei is on the list of those involved.
The report revealed that the transfers were conducted outside the traditional banking system, using cryptocurrencies to circumvent international oversight. Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader’s son, emerged as one of the most prominent figures involved, with sources indicating he transferred approximately $328 million to offshore accounts.
The “oil for crypto” mechanism
The economic source explained that the regime relies on a complex mechanism for smuggling wealth, starting with selling oil and receiving the proceeds directly in the form of digital currencies (crypto), which are then transferred through specialized exchange offices capable of converting them into cash in foreign accounts in record time.
Conviction of imminent collapse
Analysts considered this massive capital flight the strongest evidence of the Iranian regime’s loss of confidence in its continued existence. According to Channel 14, “Those who believe in the stability of their regime don’t smuggle billions out; rather, those who do are preparing themselves for the post-collapse phase,” describing the current situation as “personal insurance” for the leaders as the moment of truth approaches.
