Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority Issues Credit Ban Against Iran’s Bank Sepah

Iran Focus

London, 18 Nov – On Tuesday, Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) announced that a credit ban has been imposed on Iran’s Bank Sepah for violating the country’s credit law. Previously, the UN, US and EU had sanctioned Bank Sepah over its role in Iran’s illicit missile procurement activities.

On Friday, BaFin spokeswoman, Sabine Reimer, told news media that “a credit ban against Bank Sepah’s branch in Frankfurt was imposed because the institution violated the requirements of the rules of a business organization according to paragraph 25a of the lending law.” However, Reimer could not provide additional information due to her obligation to secrecy. According to BaFin, the ban on credit went into effect on October 13th.

Saudi FM Tells Iran: Enough Is Enough

Iran Focus

London, 17 Nov – The Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir said that his country’s actions across the Middle East were a reaction to the aggressiveness of the Iranian Regime and warned Iran’s mullahs that “enough is enough”.

Currently the Sunni Kingdom and the Shiite Regime are fighting each other on several fronts across the region, most notably in Yemen and Lebanon.

Al Jubeir said: “Any way you look at it, they (the Iranians) are the ones who are acting in an aggressive manner. We are reacting to that aggression and saying, ‘Enough is enough. We’re not going to let you do this anymore’.”

Iran: The Fight for Sinjar

Iran Focus

London, 17 Nov – Sinjar in Iraq is proving to be a very wanted area. PKK (the Kurdistan Workers Party), Turkey and Iran all have their eyes on this area because it is strategically important to each of them, but in different ways.

Turkey is bombing all PKK positions to gain control over its strongholds. The country’s President said at the beginning of November that unless the authorities resolve the issues in Qandil and Sinjar, Turkey would “raze those places to the ground”. Turkey sees the PKK as a terrorist organisation, as does the European Union and the United States.

Iran Regime Covers up Negligence and Corruption After Quake

Iran Focus

London, 16 Nov – The Iranian Regime is desperately trying to cover up its responsibility in the large-scale destruction that followed Sunday’s earthquake by downplaying the extent of the damage, suppressing the people, and refusing outside offers of help.

The Regime wants to suppress their people’s legitimate protest and anger over the disaster, so they sent in suppressive government forces like the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) led by Mohammad Ali Jafari and the Basij led by Ali Fazli, rather than aid conveys and the emergency services.

Iranian Regime Tries to Cover Devastating Reality of Earthquake Disaster

Iran Focus

London, 16 Nov – In the aftermath of the horrific tragedy that struck Iran late on Sunday, the Iranian regime has all but abandoned the people that need help urgently. After the devastating earthquake hit the country, the Iranian government, bar a few sympathetic tweets, has failed to react appropriately. Instead, it is trying to cover up the reality of the devastation and is trying to suppress the demonstrations that are taking place in solidarity of all those affected.

The people of Iran are angry, and quite rightly so. After the earthquake, instead of sending help in the form of convoys and forces, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohammad Ali Jafari and the Basij force commander Ali Fazli were sent.
