As these negotiations take place, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dropped new information on seized Iranian assets on May 29.
The U.S. has&nbsp;seized $1 billion in Iranian crypto assets as part of the Operation Economic Fury of Trump’s war on Iran,&nbsp;Bessent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/tbHD6kDpTd4" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed</a>&nbsp;while speaking to Fox Business Network host Lawrence Kudlow at the Reagan National Economic Forum.
<blockquote>
 "Just outright grabbed the wallets.. some of them might be typing in right now and they might not realize that their wallets had been grabbed,"&nbsp;Bessent&nbsp;exclaimed.
</blockquote>
The U.S. is working with its European allies to "grab" Iranian villas and properties&nbsp;— this is&nbsp;money the Iranian regime has stolen from the people of their country, he added.
Iran is facing a severe economic crisis where people are being given food vouchers and inflation is over 200%, he also claimed.
