Iran Press/Iran news: "In fact, it has already happened. Israel supports terrorists in Syria in different ways, including healing the wounds of their terrorist sisters and brothers," Eshagh Al Habib said addressing the United Nations Security Council meeting on 'threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts: combating the financing of terrorism'.
Eshagh Al Habib added that terrorism is a real threat, and the recent terrorist attacks in New Zealand have shown once more that no country is immune to this pervasive evil, Iran Press reported.
He also said that combating terrorism requires a comprehensive preventive approach.
Al Habib reiterated that preventing and combating the financing of terrorism is very important.
He added that as a victim of terrorism who has lost more than 17,000 of its citizens as a result of terrorist attacks, Iran is determined to continue combating terrorism in all its aspects, including its financing.
Iran's chargé d’affaires to the United Nations said that Iran has enacted a National Strategy for Countering Terrorist Act and a number of laws which include preventive measures for the financing of terrorism. The latter is addressed in several bilateral agreements as well. Iran also has an active Financial Intelligence Unit.
He also said that preventing and combating the financing of terrorism requires genuine political will by all states as well as efficient international standards.105
