A brief report states that Iranian President Pezeshkian has reportedly resigned, citing the dominance of the IRGC (Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) over the government. The source adds that such a development could lead to greater IRGC control, an escalation in sanctions, and tighter financial scrutiny on cryptocurrency activity. In crypto markets, sanctions pressure and compliance scrutiny typically matter because they can affect exchange access, payment rails, and monitoring of blockchain-based transactions.
