Hemmati: Tehran seeking halt to FATF countermeasures ‘based on national interests’
The ministry is pursuing suspension of the FATF countermeasures based on national interests, he wrote on his X account, IRNA reported.
He further said that normalization of Iran’s case in FATF means removal of monetary and financial restrictions of 200 countries and international organizations against all Iranian natural and legal entities and neutralizing the project of isolating the monetary and financial system of our country by the US and its allies.
He further said normalizing the banking relations of Iranians, from students to businessmen and economic activists all over the world and increasing costs for US government in case of threatening and bribing countries and international institutions to implement sanctions against Iran are other moves to normalize Iran’s case in the FATF.
“The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance will carry out the necessary follow-ups and take necessary measures to remove the restrictions and suspend the countermeasures of the “Financial Special Action Group” (FATF) based on the national interests of our country,” he reiterated.
