Anza’s Lead Economist, Max Resnick, claims to have played a crucial role in the latest US strikes on Iranian facilities as the ongoing war between Iran and Israel escalates. Solana Labs’ co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, described Resnick’s claims as “Echoes of Block Wars” that are reverberating.

Resnick considers the operation a well-taken risk by Anza’s invalidators, who risked their lives to clean up the Solana network, clearing it of secret nodes. In his latest X post, the Anza Lead Economist narrated how his team assisted the Trump administration by compiling the addresses of Iranian Solana validators and sending them to the Pentagon.

According to Resnick, the US top security outfit analyzed the information and deployed four B-2 bombers carrying bunker-buster munitions to the region. The campaign resulted in the elimination of the Fordow and Isfahan facilities in Iran, where deep underground, sandwiching validators were operating Solana nodes in secret.
The latest developments highlight cryptocurrency’s integration into mainstream warfare and the growing proliferation of cyberwarfare in modern-day geopolitical complications. It is worth noting that pro-Israel hackers recently accused the Iran-based Nobitex crypto exchange of collaborating with the Iranian regime to finance terror across the globe. The hackers attacked the exchange and pulled significant funds from its custody.

Such developments, including the latest claims of US bombers striking crypto facilities in Iran, further confirm cryptocurrency’s importance in modern-day global affairs. Many countries and institutions adopt cryptocurrency as an alternative means of transaction during wartime or periods of uncertainty within the mainstream socio-economic ecosystem.
Warring nations use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to pay for weapons and equipment, including logistics, settlements, and payment for services. It would be a crucial tool in the hands of good people during such times, but it could become a dangerous tool when used for the wrong purpose.
