Iran accepts cryptocurrency for military sales

According to the Financial Times, the Defense Export Center (Mindex) under the Iranian Ministry of Defense has announced that it is ready to negotiate military contracts, allowing for various payment methods, including digital currencies, barter trade, or payments in Iranian rials.

As the agency responsible for Iran's overseas defense sales, Mindex has listed advanced weapons for export, including Emad ballistic missiles, Shahed drones, Suleimani-class warships, and short-range air defense systems, aiming to circumvent Western financial sanctions.
