Adeli, former governor of the Central Bank: Legal deputy in Shahid Raisi's government wrote in a letter that being on the FATF blacklist will intensify the effects of sanctions

 In 2023, the legal deputy of the Shahid Raisi government wrote a letter to the president stating that being on the list of high-risk countries would intensify the effects of sanctions. By being blacklisted, all member countries and partners of the FATF are asked to take countermeasures against the country.

As a result, the country's traditional partners, who could have continued to trade with Iran at the time of the sanctions, are now refraining from continuing to trade with Iran in order to avoid cooperating with a high-risk area." Mr. President also sent the same letter to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance for action.
