Iran seeks IMF help with law against terror funding
None
Iran, long accused by the West of funding terrorism, has asked the International Monetary Fund for technical assistance in drafting a law to combat terrorism financing, the IMF said on Thursday.
In an annual assessment of Iran's economy, the Washington-based global financial institution "noted progress in establishing a more comprehensive" framework in Iran for tackling terrorism financing and money laundering. In the review the IMF urged Iran to strengthen those efforts. (Reuters)
