Holy shit, this war even dips into gambling! Its one thing to take out their power and gas sources their two main sources of earnings id wager but its a lot harder to track down a plethora of crypto gambling sites. It can happen but it'll be slower. You're right about the cat and mouse games
This means that those who wage war have practically evolved.
They have found alternative ways of making money, a bit like North Korea, if I'm not mistaken, hacks things to steal money.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I've read similar news.
Iran has decided to focus on gambling, crazy.
It's definitely crazy but if you are in a position where you are made to survive, you would definitely exhaust all the possible solutions in order to justify the means.
I mean, I wouldn't even blame Iran here for thinking this space as an opportunity to gain revenue. However, I wonder what would be the long-term impact on the rehabilitation of their country in the far (or near) future once everything settles down.
Four billion dollars is a lot of money. I saw that a portion, $125 million, was transferred directly to their central bank and the IRGC. But isn't gambling prohibited over there? Apparently, anything goes when it comes to evading sanctions, even violating their own rules.
We know how that country has been under pressure from the US for a very long time. But they’ve still managed to hold on and even develop their military capabilities. They’ve found ways to make money that are hard for their opponents to track or freeze. I guess the longer the tensions in the Middle East go on, the more other facts will come out in the media.
I agree with you. In fact, when you are in survival mode, you would choose all the paths no matter how dangerous or treacherous it might be. Iran is on that specific position of surviving. I wouldn't call them thriving but at least they are exhausting these remedies in order to survive and even fight for their country.
