House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA)
Washington, D.C., Jan. 25, 2018 – House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) urged the Trump administration to press a key international panel to keep Iran on its blacklist and reinstate “counter-measures” to protect the global financial system from the Iranian regime’s money laundering and terrorist financing.
In the letter, Chairman Royce wrote: “Ensuring the Financial Action Task Force maintains its designation of Iran as a ‘high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdiction’ and re-imposes counter-measures will help protect the national security of the United States and the integrity of the international financial system. It will also send a powerful message to the brave Iranians who took to the streets earlier this month. Money laundering is a key element of the endemic corruption that the regime uses to enrich itself and support terrorism abroad. These abuses were at the heart of the protests. This is an opportunity to stand with the Iranian people against a regime that steals the wealth of a great nation to oppress its people and sow instability across the Middle East and beyond.”
