First publication: How Turkey became Iran's main financial pipeline

Western intelligence assessments reveal that Turkey has become Iran's main financial pipeline, through which funds are funneled to the regime. The Quds Force exploited the Turkish axis to transfer tens of millions of dollars for the rehabilitation of Hamas, against the backdrop of growing American pressure on Tehran.

Western intelligence assessments, published for the first time on Channel 14, reveal that Turkey has become the main financial pipeline through which funds are funneled to Iran. According to the sources, the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps exploited the Turkish axis to transfer tens of millions of dollars to Hamas Turkey, with the aim of rebuilding the organization from the ground up. This comes against the backdrop of increasing American economic pressure on Tehran, led by the Trump administration, which is narrowing the regime's cash routes and creating a strategic problem. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent presented an 'economic offensive' against Iran's financial network and warned of a rapid pace of progress. Trade volume between Turkey and Iran amounted to approximately $5.5 billion in 2025, alongside Iran's role as a significant gas supplier. Damage to trade could burden the Turkish economy, which explains the complexity surrounding the financial pipeline.
