Iranian official warns of continuous inclusion on FATF blacklist
He said that removal of Iran from the FATF blacklist would take away the tool of US hostile measures against the Islamic Republic. Khani said that Iran’s economic partners – China, the UAE, and Turkey – are set to undergo FATF supervision for their measures vis-à-vis the economic activities of individuals whose countries are on the FATF blacklist and reside on their soil.
“As a result, we are witnessing an intensification of supervisory measures by our most important trading partners against us, which is an example of the US abusing our inclusion on the blacklist to pressure Iran,” he said.
Iran’s Expediency Council has begun re-examining the anti-money laundering and terrorism financing conventions adopted by the global financial crime watchdog FATF.
