Iran Internationa:

The top echelons of Iran’s ruling elite appear to remain divided on endorsing international conventions to combat money laundering and terrorism financing, according to a Tehran-based outlet.

The Rouydad24 news site reported on Monday that members of Iran’s Expediency Council, currently reviewing legislation for joining two international conventions, are divided between supporters and opponents.

Rouydad24, though not directly controlled by the state, operates within the constraints of Iran's media landscape.

The outlet, however, suggested that the political system appears to have decided in favor of approving the pending legislation, noting that the presidential administration has received “the green light from higher authorities,” referring to the Supreme Leader.

Iran’s former ambassador to the United Kingdom, Jalal Sadatian, told the website that 10 members of the Expediency Council support the legislation, 22 oppose it, and 10 are undecided.
