Iran: Accepts Cryptocurrency Payments for Advanced Weapon Orders

Odaily News According to official documents and payment terms from Mindex, Iran's Defense Ministry export center, the agency is prepared to negotiate military contracts allowing foreign governments to make payments using cryptocurrencies, barter trade, or Iranian rials. As the agency responsible for Iran's overseas defense sales, Mindex's listed export catalog includes advanced weapons such as the Emad ballistic missile, Shahed drones, Soleimani-class warships, and short-range air defense systems. Addressing sanction risks, Mindex stated in the FAQ section of its official platform that, given Iran's policy of circumventing sanctions, there are no issues with executing contracts and ensuring products reach their destinations.
