According to CoinMeta, on July 31 local time, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin stated during a cabinet meeting held at Camp David in Maryland that, following instructions from President Donald Trump, the Treasury Department has continued to launch economic attacks against Iran and is pursuing Iranian assets worldwide. He also specifically listed what he referred to as the "economic achievements" against Iran in front of Trump: after relevant actions were taken in March 2025, Iran's largest private bank declared bankruptcy by the end of that year, and the Iranian Central Bank was forced to print large amounts of currency, continuously driving up inflation. Mnuchin claimed that Iran is now even unable to pay its military salaries. These remarks immediately sparked skepticism and criticism from netizens.
