Last July, when the Administration had been intent on closing a
nuclear deal with Iran and selling it to a skeptical American Congress
and public, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew testified
before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, emphatically stating
that after the deal, Iran will continue to be denied access to the
American banking system. “Iranian banks will not be able to clear U.S.
dollars through New York, hold correspondent account relationships with
U.S. financial institutions, or enter into financing arrangements with
U.S. banks,” he said.
And while testifying before the Senate
Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs in September, Acting
Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Adam Szubin
said, “No Iranian banks can access the U.S. financial system; not to
open an account, not to purchase a security, and not even to execute a
dollarized transaction where a split seconds worth of business is done
in a New York clearing bank.”
There are a multitude of reasons
why this is an excellent idea. For starters: Iran is the world’s
leading state sponsor of terrorism and launders money to be sent all
around the world to their terrorist network and terror proxies in Syria,
Lebanon, Iraq , Bahrain, Yemen and Gaza.
