Dubai Crackdown Hits Iran's Economic Lifeline, Squeezes IRGC Networks
By Negar Mojtahedi of Iran International
The arrest of dozens of IRGC-linked money changers in the United Arab Emirates is one of the most serious blows yet to Tehran's sanctions-evasion network, laying bare how heavily the Islamic Republic has depended on Dubai as an economic lifeline.
Sources familiar with the matter told Iran International that UAE authorities detained dozens of money changers tied to financial entities linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, shut down associated companies and closed their offices. The crackdown follows days of mounting regional tensions and comes after other measures targeting Iranian nationals, including visa revocations and tighter travel restrictions through Dubai.

"He Ran On No Wars - Now We Have One": Michael Savage Breaks With Trump Over Iran

Savage, a staunch America First advocate, did not mince words: “He [Trump] has good intentions. He liked to have no war. Now we have a war. He ran on the platform of no wars. And now we have a war.

Tankers Seized By US Carried 20 Million Barrels Of Iranian Crude To China
Nine tankers seized by the US since it began taking direct action against the so-called shadow fleet that transport illicit oil around the world have delivered more than 20 million barrels of Iranian crude to China since 2013, according to the WSJ. The figures form part of a new report that provides an insight into the level of support China has given Iran by buying its sanctioned oil.
Between 2013 and 2025, these nine vessels delivered 20.3 million barrels of Iranian crude to Chinese ports, the report said, citing data from Kpler. The vessels also carried 37.9 million barrels of Venezuelan crude and 11.1 million barrels of Russian crude to Chinese ports.
