Iran Froze Citizen's Bank Accounts
Timothy Birdnow
Hmm. The Administration's attacks on Iran focused on their banking infrastructure and the Iranian regime has frozen all the bank accounts of its citizens.
As the author of this American Thinker piece points out, this is a sign the Iranian government is on the verge of collapse. They are stealing the money of the citizens in a desperate bid to hold onto power.
Hre are a few snippets from the article:
Joe Truzman
@JoeTruzmanThis morning, hundreds of thousands of Iranians woke up to frozen bank accounts. Customers of Bank Sepah and Bank Melli got an SMS saying their accounts were locked,@NarimanGharibposted on X. The banks' websites and service channels are blocked, and it's not possible to log into accounts at all.
The regime is calling this a "Central Bank technical upgrade to communication switches for network stability," he wrote.
This is almost certainly the regime freezing enormous sums of money taken directly from its own citizens to ensure its survival. Iranians are being robbed blind by their own government as it clings to power.
[...]
This is when people become truly desperate. This is when they rise up and fight.
It’s true that, because there is no Second Amendment in Iran, the citizens have no guns with which to fight the tyranny that has oppressed them for so long. However, it’s worth remembering that one of the worst battles the Nazis experienced during WWII was the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, fought against a band of starving, unarmed Jews, who nevertheless made do with what they had. When people have nothing left to lose, they fight like there’s no tomorrow, because, for most, there isn’t.
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising, although it hurt the Nazis badly, ended up worse for the Jews. The few survivors died in the camps. If Trump doesn’t go wobbly, though, it won’t end up that way for the Iranian people. The mullahs are already on the ropes, and the Israelis are using drones that have pinpoint accuracy to destroy individual IRGC checkpoints on Iran’s streets, so that the IRGC cannot prevent people from protesting:
This after airstrikes on the data centers for Bank Sepah, which handles payroll for the IRGC/military forces.
If Trump doesn't go wobbly, as the author keeps pointing out, this thing will end with Iran's regime falling. When the Iranians get hungry enough they will lose the fear that the murder of 30-40 thousand of their fellow citizens has instilled in them and that will be the end for the Mullahs.
We need to be getting weapons to them now.
At any rate if you want to understand any issue you follow the money, and the money in Iran is moving in such a way as to illustrate the regime is in big trouble there - or what is left of the regime.

The financial downfall was put into place by the closing of banks weeks prior to the first air strike by the IRGC in retaliation to the general strike by the Iranian people. The only bank open which is now in rubble was the IRGC's bank, one that the people of Iran couldn't use.When the IDF leveled hezbollahs bank in Beirut days ago that was probably one most effective strikes it has made. People who aren't getting paid very quickly lose interest and move on. The reason for the air strikes on civilian airports in Iran is to keep the IRGC from stealing Iran's national treasures.
