The vote also marked a reaffirmation of our commitment to working multilaterally, with the US and other partners, to face down Iranian attempts to undermine the collective, international rules-based order.\n\nThe government now has an opportunity to match the US’ political and diplomatic resolve on another critical issue – tackling the trade of sanctioned Iranian oil which underpins Tehran’s ability to project terror and instability at home and abroad.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Thinking - City AM Opinion Newsletter\nGet weekly sparky insight and expert commentary on markets, entrepreneurship and innovation from City AM’s Opinion Editor, delivered every Saturday.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFunding terrorThrough the National Iranian Oil Company and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, revenues from this $50bn shadow economy directly fund proxy fighters in Gaza, Yemen and Lebanon, as well as intelligence operatives engaged in covert activity in London and other European cities.Oil is the principal enabler of hostility directed by Iran towards the UK and our allies. The network poses a significant threat to our shared security.The US government has long recognised the necessity of cutting off this revenue stream. Its sanctions body, OFAC, has been empowered to pursue an oil-specific campaign of maximum pressure, targeting every link in Tehran’s energy supply chain. Just last week, it sanctioned 100 individuals, entities, and vessels, including a Chinese refinery and terminal, who facilitate oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sales and shipments from Iran.\n\nThe message was unequivocal: those who prop up the Iranian regime and its ability to fund global terror will be held to account.This level of robustness is yet to be reflected in the UK. OFSI, the UK’s counterpart to OFAC has no oil-specific strategy. Its actions remain general, irregular, and therefore less effective.American lawmakers are growing impatient. In July, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent a letter to the UK, French and German foreign ministers, urging them to intensify pressure on Iran’s shadow oil economy. The letter warned that continued flow of Iranian crude – particularly via smuggling networks and Chinese refiners – is undermining international sanctions and sustaining the regime’s destabilising activities across the Middle East.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
