Tehran's interim Friday prayers leader also cautioned Iranian officials about the repeat of their experience with 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Hojjatoleslam Seddighi criticized the passing of FATF bill in the Iranian parliament, saying: "FATF will bring with it self-imposed sanctions. We may be able to bypass or get around US-imposed sanctions, but FATF will give the enemies of Iran sensitive information about our financial resources, banking sector, and trade, and this goes against Quranic teachings, as well as Iran's constitution, and the instructions of the Leader of the Islamic revolution!"
Hojjatoleslam Seddighi pointedly added: "FATF is effectively a trap set up by Western think tanks."
Commenting further he said: "If you want to fight money laundering, then draw up internal legislation for this purpose, but don't trust the enemies who want to harm the Islamic Republic."
