U.S. Justice Department probes suspected Iran use of Binance to evade sanctions

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating signs Iran used Binance to bypass U.S. economic sanctions, Cointelegraph reported on Tuesday, citing the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ cited internal documents and sources as saying Iran may have used Binance to transfer funds to affiliated networks, including Yemen's Houthi rebels. It was unclear whether the probe targets Binance itself or only users, the report said.
