Bitcoin has stumbled on tensions flaring up in the Middle East again.

Rumors of Iran using bitcoin to skirt transactions have been abound for some time now. Business and regime insiders have reportedly said it's a tried and tested method.

Things are heating up between Iran and the U.S. — again — and it's hurting bitcoin's price.

Bitcoin's price used to be sensitive to geopolitical developments. Not anymore.

Iran has been using Bitcoin to dodge sanctions. The Department of the Treasury wants to shut it off from the crypto economy.

A $10 million reward is being offered by the feds for information on the defendants.

The news comes after the U.S. froze Iran's other digital assets.
