FATF bill going through its legal path like other bills: senior cleric

Addressing a large crowd of worshippers in the Iranian capital, Ayatollah Khatami said that the international organizations are not reliable.

The executive secretary of FATF has openly said that there is no guarantee to remove Iran from the black list, the Ayatollah said, asking, “When there is no guarantee, why should we suffocate ourselves with this execution cord?”

He said that the FATF bill, passed by the Parliament, has two other stages to turn into a law. It also needs to be approved by the Guardian Council and then if the Parliament was not satisfied, the Expediency Council will decide about the bill, the Ayatollah said.

He called on both those, who are in favor of the bill and those who oppose it, not to get anxious. “The country’s affairs will get nowhere through anxiety, and FATF bill is going through its legal path like any other bill.”

He warned that the thieves, who were pushed out of the door of the country 40 years ago, are aiming to enter the country again through such international regulations as FATF.
