Iran Press /Iran news: The Parliament's open session chaired by Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, scheduled to review the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission's report on the issue, according to Iran Press.
On 7 October 2018, the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) approved "Combating the Financing of Terrorism" (CFT) bill, but later, the Guardian Council announced the bill had a number of flaws and ambiguities, and decided to send back the bill to the parliament (Majlis) for further discussion, rectification, and amendments.
But the parliamentarians insisted on their assessment of Article 2 of the bill and did not approve objections raised by the Guardian Council.
On 5 January 2019, the Guardian Council spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhodaie said that most of the flaws or ambiguities that led to the rejection of the bill on Iran's accession to CFT by the Council, remained unchanged, and were still problematic.
Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) involves investigating, analyzing, deterring and preventing sources of funding for terrorist activities. The CFT bill is one of four bills connected to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
