U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Washington is tracking a surge of capital flight by Iran’s ruling class as nationwide protests and threats of U.S. military action create alarm. According to the Express, Israel’s Channel 14 reported roughly $1.5 billion moved to escrow accounts in Dubai, with an anonymous source naming the son of the Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei among those involved.

The Treasury warns it is tracing funds “through the banking system or through digital assets” and will work to block illicit transfers, noting Iran increasingly uses cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions; any enforcement or asset recovery remains subject to jurisdictional legal processes.
