Steven T. Mnuchin amerikai pénzügyminiszter nyilatkozatot tesz az iráni döntésről

Today President Donald J. Trump announced his decision to cease the United States’ participation in the JCPOA and begin reimposing U.S. nuclear-related sanctions on the Iranian regime.

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is taking immediate action to implement the President’s decision.

Sanctions will be reimposed subject to certain 90 day and 180 day wind-down periods.

At the conclusion of the wind-down periods, the applicable sanctions will come back into full effect.

This includes actions under both our primary and secondary sanctions authorities.

OFAC posted today to its website frequently asked questions (FAQs) that provide guidance on the sanctions that are to be re-imposed and the relevant wind-down periods.

Below is a statement from Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin in response to the President’s decision:

“President Trump has been consistent and clear that this Administration is resolved to addressing the totality of Iran’s destabilizing activities. We will continue to work with our allies to build an agreement that is truly in the best interest of our long-term national security. The United States will cut off the IRGC’s access to capital to fund Iranian malign activity, including its status as the world’s largest state sponsor of terror, its use of ballistic missiles against our allies, its support for the brutal Assad regime in Syria, its human rights violations against its own people, and its abuses of the international financial system.”
