Dubai bank cuts off business with Iranian lenders

Pressure from U.S. sanctions

AP — A Dubai Islamic bank with ties to the emirate's ruling family said Wednesday it stopped doing business with Iranian banks in December, shortly before the United States approved new sanctions targeting the country's financial system. The decision by Noor Islamic Bank cuts off yet another of Iran's links to the international banking system.

wait till oil and water run

by alx1711 on

wait till their oil and water run dry, these tazies crawl back and beg to Iran and Iranians, future is near.

As i always say, when these tazies are hungry they obey you and when their stomach is full they are like dogs with rabies..

 It is estimated that they will run out of oil in 50yrs.

The UAE should've done a long time ago.  The iranian regime doesn't respect anything except the language of force/sanctions.  It's a shame that the iranian people have to feel the squeeze thanks to their terrorist rulers, but it's a small price to pay for their eventual freedom..

According to the great fearless leader Khamenei sanctions will only make Iran stronger. I guess the rest of the world is finally giving IRI what it has been asking for.

Today

was the last day for the banking sanctions to take effect.

I wonder how many banks would continue working with Iran tomorrow?

Good report, thanks for posting it.

I support military action....guess I'm a Zionist stooge. Roosevelt and Stalin opposeed Hitler and sat together in the Tehran conference....guess Roosevelt was a communist for siding with Russia in WW2....Hugo Chavez loves Ahmadinejad....Chavez must be a Hezbillahi......Trita Parsi dines with the Islamic Republic ambassador and lobbies on his behalf in Washington as emails show....he is NOT an Islamic Republic sttooge....He is a patriotic Iranian.....

Good News with caveats

by Simorgh5555 on

Time to dig the claws into the IR's flesh though I fear sanctions will be a long drawn out event. Destroying the IR Revolutionary Guards will be necessary.

Airtight sanctions

by Fred on

Good step, but not enough. Air and maritime cargo inspections is a must.
