Chairman of the Iran-China Chamber of Commerce: It is true that our banking system had little to do with the global system. But 14 banks were exempt from sanctions, which in fact carried out all our actions in the last two years.
According to the Iran International Stone Exhibition, Majid Reza Hariri said about the impact of the recent sanctions imposed on 18 banks and financial institutions by the United States: "In this case, we have to wait. It seems that Trump is draining his last bullets in the run-up to the elections." If not elected, it will be difficult for the next president to remove these obstacles. Of course, even if he is the one who will benefit from these sanctions, although any sanctions and restrictions will be removed through negotiation and bad faith, and it does not matter who the other party is.
The head of the Iran-China Chamber of Commerce noted: "It is true that our banking system had little to do with the global system." But 14 banks were exempt from sanctions, which in fact carried out all our actions in the last two years, for example, for the same humanitarian channel Iran and Switzerland or Instex, or our banking operations with our Europe, although limited, by one It was done from these banks.
Hariri added: "In a way, these banks were the last loopholes in the world banking system." Certainly, our banking system did not work at full capacity in this regard, but we must not forget that in order to remove any new sanctions and obstacles, we must enter into discussions with the world.
"The issue of the FATF is based on our banking system, but more importantly, the issue of sanctions," he said of the impact of the sanctions, despite FATF restrictions. The relationship between the two is like having someone's hands and feet in a cage and inside a cage, until the cage, which is the embargo, is not removed, the opening of the cages will have no effect. Therefore, with the lifting of sanctions, we can talk about the impact of the FATF.
He continued: "It should be noted that all our issues, even economic, are political in some way, and if political issues are resolved, economic issues such as connecting with Swift, joining the FATF and the WTO or other issues will be resolved."
