Interesting how MSM & #Iran’s state media were silent on a very important subject.
In his visit to Germany on May 30, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Tehran to immediately & unconditionally approve all FATF anti-money laundering/terrorism financing bills.

Unprecedented:
This is a first for @SecPompeo to officially demand #Iran’s regime ratify FATF-related treaties.
The FATF Plenary & Working Group meetings will convene from June 16-21 in Orlando, Florida.
This is Tehran’s deadline.

The FATF is a convention aimed at fighting to disrupt money laundering and funds for terrorist groups. Various FATF regulations will bring about major restrictions for #Iran's banking systems.

Kayhan daily, known as the mouthpiece of Iranian Supreme Leader @khamenei_fa:
“… joining the FATF will render endless int'l measures & increasing sanctions against a variety of our state entities, including the IRGC… Iran’s dossier will be referred to The Hague & UNSC.”

“… the FATF will provide tools to these powers that are looking to gain influence over our economic/political security & regional influence.”
Meaning Iran’s bank funding of terrorists groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Yemen’s Houthis & Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi will be unveiled.

The approval of UNSC Resolution 2462 extra pressure on the regime in #Iran to approve the necessary bills to conform to FATF standards, the world’s de facto organization for financial transaction transparency.

If Tehran refuses Pompeo’s demands, they will be blacklisted and left to face FATF countermeasures.
The mullahs’ regime will literally become a no-man’s land for business, further depriving the regime of desperately needed foreign funds.

And if Tehran actually bends the knee to Pompeo’s demands, they will have to end all bank transactions with terror groups abroad.
My conclusion:
The mullahs’ days in Iran are numbered.
