'Treasury Sanctions Iran’s Largest Petrochemical Holding Group and Vast Network of Subsidiaries and Sales Agents'
#Iran #Sanctions @USTreasury
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
NCRI-US's @A_Jafarzadeh: One less money laundering tool in the hands of the ruling mullahs. Timely action by @USTreasury to deprive the #IRGC & Supreme Leader @khamenei_ir of funds to suppress #Iran's people, plunder their wealth & spread violence and terror in the region.
A key policy recommendation in the NCRI-US’s newly published book, ‘Iran’s Emissaries of Terror” stressed “Sanctions on the petrochemical industry will close one of the most critical channels used by the regime to finance its domestic and foreign malign activities.” #Iran #IRGC
The NCRI-US's recommendation said: "#Iran’s petrochemicals & gas sectors... serve as a main source of revenue for the Office of the Supreme Leader, &the #IRGC, which control 90% of this industry & use the funds it generates to finance suppression at home & terrorism & war abroad.
The @NCRIUS's recommendation continued: "Due to the wide range of petrochemical products, petrochemical sales are one of the most recognized & easiest methods of money laundering for the regime." Revenues obtained through this sector amounts to billions of dollars. #Iran #IRGC

Regarding Terhan’s announcement on the nuclear deal today:
1/12- The remarks by the Iranian regime’s President Hassan Rouhani and the statement by its Supreme National Security Council concerning the refusal to abide by limitations on stockpiling....
#Iran #IranDeal
2/12- … enriched uranium and heavy water are a blatant violation of the nuclear deal with the P5+1 countries and the United Nations Security Council’s resolution 2231.
#Iran #IranDeal
3/12- The development again underscores the need for the complete shutting down of uranium enrichment &heavy water production projects as well as dismantling the regime’s nuclear sites and conducting anytime, anywhere inspections of all suspect sites, military or otherwise.

NCRI-US May 1 Press Briefing on "Iran's Emissaries of Terror".
Alireza Jafarzadeh: “There were 10 instances of terrorist operations in 2018 in both Europe and the United States… there has been a sharp surge compared to earlier years”
#Iran #BlackListMOIS
Jafarzadeh: “There are five major decision-makers in Iran, but ultimately everything boils down to the Supreme Leader, Khamenei.”
“The lead agency that has been involved in terrorism in Western countries is the Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS)”
#Iran #BlackListMOIS
Jafarzadeh: “Embassies provide cover to the MOIS to allow them to exploit diplomatic immunity & diplomatic pouches in order to carry out terrorist attacks. When terrorists are caught, they’re job is to explain it away and get their terrorists back to Tehran.”

 U.S. Treasury Dept. takes extensive measures against a network run by the mullahs in #Iran to bypass U.S. sanctions and provide dollars & euros to the IRGC & Defense Ministry.
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
2)
 “… 25 individuals and entities, including a network of Iran, UAE, and Turkey-based front companies, that have transferred over a billion dollars and euros to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL)…”
3)
 U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin:
“The IRGC, MODAFL, and other malign actors in Iran continue to exploit the international financial system to evade sanctions, while the regime funds terrorism and other destabilizing activities across the region.”

 #Iran’s regime filters popular messaging apps, such as @Telegram, forcing users into indigenous platforms.
This is a grave security risk for millions of Iranians, allows authorities access to sensitive personal data & easily identify dissidents.
CC @durov @telegram
2)
 Such indigenous platforms allow Iranian authorities to receive copies of users’ information and get access to users’ devices.

“Telegram Gold,” “Hotgram” & all indigenous apps are controlled by the Iranian regime, violating the users’ privacy & used to spy on their activities.
3)
 #Iran’s spy chief acknowledges “Telegram Gold” is a regime-made app & legal.
While @Telegram is blocked & illegal in Iran, “Telegram Gold” & “Hotgram” allow Iranian intelligence authorities to monitor message exchanges & provides access to users’ sensitive personal data.

 Let’s talk about a newly written piece by @bozorgmehr, again turning @Reuters into a mouthpiece for #Iran’s regime to lie about how U.S. sanctions by literally whitewashing the mullahs’ crimes.
reuters.com/article/us-usa…
2)
 To make a long story short, @bozorgmehr’s report literally places all the blame of #Iran’s economic woes on U.S. sanctions.

This is a narrative of the Iranian regime published extensively through its apologists/lobbyists in the #MSM these days.
3)
 A few questions:

How come @bozorgmehr doesn't mention that #Iran’s @khamenei_ir “oversees an organization called Setad that has assets estimated at about $95 billion?”

Why doesn’t Khamenei use this money to provide for ordinary Iranians?
