Bessent Calls on US to Cut Off Dollar Access for Iranian Money Laundering Networks

Date:

The United States has signaled plans to intensify financial pressure on illicit networks facilitating transactions for Iran by cutting off their access to the U.S. dollar. U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent warned that foreign intermediaries, financial institutions, and front companies assisting Iranian money-laundering operations will face exclusion from the American financial system. The measure aims to strictly enforce existing sanctions and disrupt the financial channels that support Iran’s regional activities and state-backed programs.

  • The U.S. government warned it will terminate U.S. dollar access for entities and networks laundering money on behalf of Iran.
  • The enforcement targets international intermediaries, front companies, and foreign financial institutions aiding illicit Iranian transactions.
  • The initiative focuses on strengthening secondary sanctions enforcement to cut off revenue streams to designated Iranian entities.
  • Global financial institutions have been advised to enhance compliance measures to avoid penalties and loss of U.S. clearing privileges.

  1. The U.S. will give you another 60 final warnings and some special Taco Tuesdays if you don’t comply with this warning. Better yet, China will remove itself from your payment system, rare earth has to be paid in yuan.

  2. Go ahead China already facing 5000 sanctions and 200% tariffs the threat is no longer viable when they don’t care. Imagine someone telling you they will cut your pay when you make 0 dollars an hour.

  3. This guy is a clown. This administration has been threatening and bullying the world since it took office. The other countries have already made their contingencies. Trump is all alone. Bye Felicia
