Wasabi from what I can see on mempool... Has plenty of liquidity

Might be difficult to get tgat kind of liquidity when the cost is a few million dollars (>20 bitcoin).

It's quite possible that whats going on here is just Iranian officials not understanding how Bitcoin actually works. E.g. not understanding that speed isn't very important, because they incorrectly think Bitcoin is like USDT and can be frozen.

Also, if they're using coinjoin, like Wasabi, tracing is made pretty difficult in many threat models.
