Iran now accept crypto as form of payment on its full catalogue of weapons, including missiles, drones, and other advanced military systems, to foreign governments. The Ministry of Defence Export Center (Mindex) confirmed that Bitcoin and other digital assets, alongside barter and payments in Iranian rials, will be valid settlement options for international arms deals. The move comes as Tehran seeks to bypass U.S. and European sanctions that restrict access to global banking systems.
Iran’s arms exports as a global program, extending beyond regional buyers and opening new channels for defense trade worldwide. By accepting crypto, Iran aims to secure alternative financial pathways amid inflation and currency instability, while expanding reach in the international arms market. The decision has drawn global attention as it highlights the use of digital assets in sanctioned trade.
