US Sanctions Against Iranian Regime

Or six months, but I, I will tell you that we are pressuring them like never

before. And Treasury's, uh, sanctions authorities were

really, they, uh, em- emboldened after 9/11,

and, you know, that's when we were given, uh, many of the authorities that we have

now. Uh, we got five new authorities about a month

ago that we've

implemented against the Iranian regime, including, uh, on

aviation, maritime, crypto, gold.

Uh,

on September 23rd, all the Iranian airlines, all the Iranian

airlines will be shut down around the world.

And how do we do that? That if they land, you

cannot provide them with fuel, you cannot provide them with landing

services, you

cannot sell them tickets, or you will be knocked out of the dollar

system.

A- and what we're seeing here, uh, Joe, is we've seen enablers,

uh, throughout the world.

Right.

We, we know who they are, they know who they are, and we

are putting a stop

to it. So we, we have had now three banks

that we have sanctioned.

Uh, the second-largest bank in Egypt, the Dubai branch, uh, funneled more than

$1.8 billion into the regime. They're,

they will be closed down. Uh, about the 30- 30th largest

Turkish bank, same thing. They will be closed down.

Uh,

second-largest Russian bank, their external branch is doing the same

thing. Those branches are being closed.

But nothing in China, and did you talk about that?

Uh, we did, and with many countries, they are having quiet behind the

scenes discussions are, are better than having a public

display
