AFP: "Big European banks remain
reluctant to work in Iran four months after the lifting of international
sanctions under a landmark nuclear deal with world powers, an Iranian
official said Sunday. 'Major European banks have not yet started their
interactions with Iranian banks, but some medium- and small-sized
financial institutions have established relations, including opening
letters of credit,' deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told state
broadcaster IRIB. He accused 'extremist lobbies' in the United States,
Israel and Saudi Arabia of stirring up animosity towards Iran to
prevent it from reaping the benefits of the landmark nuclear deal
signed last July." http://t.uani.com/1TVUklW
Bloomberg: "Iran must tackle problems in
its banking system and bolster anti-money laundering and
terrorism-financing laws if it wants to reconnect to the global
economy, the second-ranked official at the International Monetary Fund
said in an interview in Tehran. 'The best thing the government can do,
and the banks can do, is to bring those standards up to international
levels and try to reassure foreign partners, banks and otherwise that
Iran's banks are safe to deal with,' David Lipton, Managing Director
Christine Lagarde's deputy at the Washington-based lender, said on
Tuesday. Though most sanctions were lifted following Iran's nuclear
deal with world powers, European lenders have said doing business is
risky while other U.S. trade restrictions remain in place... 'Lenders
here have to acknowledge that foreign banks will make decisions based
on their assessments of risk management,' Lipton, a former special
assistant to U.S. President Barack Obama, said in the interview. He's
the first IMF senior management official to visit Iran since the 1979
revolution, according to the Islamic Republic's central bank." http://t.uani.com/1W00tkt
San
Antonio Express-News: "Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday rebuffed a month-old
request from the federal government that Texas review its Iran
sanctions in light of the nuclear agreement negotiated by the United
States with other world powers. Instead, Abbott said he remains determined
to increase Texas' sanctions against Iran, as he outlined in January
when he visited Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
'Because the Iran deal is fundamentally flawed and does not permanently
dismantle Iran's nuclear capability, Texas will maintain its sanctions
against Iran. Further, because your administration has recklessly and
unilaterally removed critical sanctions, I have called on the Texas
Legislature to strengthen the Iran sanctions that Texas already has in
place,' Abbott wrote Monday. Current state law prohibits pension funds
from making investments in Iran. Abbott wants to expand that to
prohibit local governments from investing in Iran or entities doing
business with Iran and to require all state entities to follow the state's
divestiture policy... Abbott, in a letter to President Barack Obama,
instead slammed the deal and said that as a staunch supporter of
Israel, 'I am committed to doing everything in my power to oppose this
misguided deal with Iran. Accordingly, not only will we not withdraw
our sanctions, but we will strengthen them to ensure Texas taxpayer
dollars are not used to aid and abet Iran.'" http://t.uani.com/1YyL8VY
U.S.-Iran
Relations
AFP: "Iran's parliament Tuesday
voted through a law obliging the government to demand damages from the
United States for 63 years of 'hostile action and crimes', state
television reported. 'The government has the duty to take the necessary
measures seeking compensation for material and moral damages caused by
the United States' to the country and Iranians over the past 63 years,
the text reads. It cites 'material or moral damage' caused by the U.S.
during the coup against nationalist leader Mohammad Mossadegh (1953),
in the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), in the destruction of oil platforms
in the Gulf and in espionage against the Islamic republic. Parliament
did not specify a sum, but Vice President Majid Ansari said during the
debate that 'Iranian courts have already ruled that the U.S. pay $50
billion in damages for its hostile actions' towards the country. The
law was passed by the conservative-dominated outgoing parliament in
response to a U.S. Supreme Court decision last month. On April 20, the
U.S. body ruled that Iran must hand nearly $2 billion in frozen central
bank assets to the survivors and relatives of those killed in attacks
it has been accused of organizing. These attacks include the 1983
bombing of a U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut and the 1996 Khobar Towers
bombing in Saudi Arabia. The ruling affects around 1,000
Americans." http://t.uani.com/1XwNHcO
The
Hill: "A
Republican congressman said the classified details surrounding Iran's
treatment of U.S. sailors captured earlier this year are disturbing. 'I
think that when the details actually come out, most Americans are going
to be kind of taken aback by the entire incident, both how Iran handled
it and how we handled it,' Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.), a member of the
House Armed Services Committee, told The Washington Free Beacon. 'I
think that's going to be huge cause for concern for most Americans.
That's why I've encouraged members of Congress to get that briefing so
they do know exactly what did take place.' Forbes said the Obama
administration is withholding information about how the 10 U.S. sailors
were treated when they were captured earlier this year after drifting
into Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. The sailors were
detained by Iran for 15 hours. Forbes said it could be as long as a
year before that information is released, noting he had a 'full
classified briefing' from military officials. 'I think clearly there were
violations of international and maritime law that took place here,'
Forbes said, according to the news outlet. 'We did almost nothing in
response, in fact, to have Secretary [of State John] Kerry actually
thank them for releasing our sailors after they way they captured them,
I think was a slap in the sailors' face.' Following the incident, Kerry
thanked Iran for what he called a 'quick and appropriate response' to
return the American sailors. Forbes told the Free Beacon he is
advocating for increased sanctions on Tehran for its treatment of the
U.S. sailors and other aggressions against U.S. forces." http://t.uani.com/1WBjeLH
Free
Beacon: "A
senior Iranian military commander claimed that U.S. officials are
quietly encouraging the Islamic Republic to keep its illicit ballistic
missile tests a secret so as not to raise concerns in the region,
according to Persian language comments. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of
the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' Aerospace and Missile Force,
said in recent remarks that the Obama administration does not want Iran
to publicize its ongoing missile tests, which have raised questions
about the Islamic Republic's commitment to last summer's comprehensive
nuclear agreement. 'At this time, the Americans are telling [us]: Don't
talk about missile affairs, and if you conduct a test or maneuver,
don't mention it,' Hajizadeh was quoted as saying during a recent
Persian-language speech that was translated by the Middle East Media
Research Institute... Iran, he said, 'must face them down firmly, and
we must act. If we do not, we will witness daily their exaggerated and
evil demands.' 'They are clearly deluding themselves. Nothing like this
will ever happen,' he added." http://t.uani.com/1XiEHrf
Tasnim
(Iran): "The
US Navy's decision to expel the commander of a squadron whose sailors
were captured by the IRGC after straying into the Iranian territorial
waters in January signifies that Washington has conceded defeat, a top
Iranian general said. Speaking to Tasnim, Head of the Strategic Center
of the General Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Brigadier General Ahmad
Vahidi said Americans sacked the commander to make up for the disgrace
they faced after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) captured US
sailors in the Persian Gulf. The commander's dismissal was a concession
to defeat, he stressed. The Iranian general went on to say that
Americans suffered a psychological defeat after the IRGC's great job.
Back in January, the IRGC Navy captured 10 US Navy sailors near Farsi
island inside Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, but
released them a day later following an apology and after technical and
operational investigations indicated that the intrusion was
unintentional." http://t.uani.com/1XfB6dC
Congressional
Action
Politico: "Ben Rhodes, the famed White
House spinmeister, is entangled in a growing fight with congressional
Republicans - the latest fallout from his bombshell magazine profile
two weeks ago. On Monday, three Republican senators called on President
Barack Obama to fire his deputy national security adviser, saying
Rhodes had been 'disrespectful,' 'deceptive' and dishonest' in how he
had sold the Iran nuclear deal to the public. The White House,
meanwhile, said Rhodes will not testify about the deal before a House
committee, calling it a 'separation of powers' issue. The ruckus over
Rhodes follows a New York Times Magazine profile of the former aspiring
fiction writer. The piece implied that Rhodes and his colleagues had
misled Americans about the nuclear deal by creating an 'echo chamber'
of allies who promoted the administration's talking points and
emphasized a timeline that suggested negotiations began later than they
really did. House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz invited
Rhodes to appear before his panel on Tuesday for a session titled
'White House Narratives on the Iran Nuclear Deal.' But in a letter to
Chaffetz, White House counsel W. Neil Eggleston writes that Rhodes will
not appear before the committee because it would raise 'significant
constitutional concerns.' 'The appearance of a senior presidential
adviser before Congress threatens the independence and the autonomy of
the president, as well as his ability to receive candid advice and
counsel in the discharge of his constitutional duties,' Eggleston
writes... In a separate letter to Obama, Senate Majority Whip John
Cornyn (R-Texas), Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.)
also cite the magazine article as they call for Rhodes'
dismissal." http://t.uani.com/1XiFp7V
Business
Risk
Reuters: "A Swedish firm is looking to
launch the first initial public offering to raise capital for
investments in Iran since international sanctions on Tehran were
lifted. But the precautions it takes to demonstrate that its dealings
are legitimate show that the undertaking, even on this small scale, is
time-consuming and costly. Although global trade sanctions against Iran
were lifted in January in return for Tehran curbing its nuclear
program, the United States still forbids its own nationals and firms to
do business in Iran, and prohibits dealings with a list of Specially
Designated Nationals (SDNs) deemed to engage in undesirable or
terrorist activity. For those reasons, Pomegranate Investment AB, set
up in Sweden in 2014, is entering the Iranian market cautiously. Chief
executive Florian Hellmich told Reuters on a visit to London on Monday
that the firm, which has raised 80 million euros ($91 million) from
European investors since 2014 in anticipation of sanctions easing,
hopes to launch its IPO in Sweden within 12 months, for investments in
Iran's consumer technology sector... The main challenge for any
international company, however, is vetting Iranian partners to ensure
they are not on the U.S. blacklist.'We have learned to operate in a
sanctions environment, which means we have had to engage in a high
amount of KYC ('Know Your Customer'): legal due diligence of all our
partners, including the banks we do business with,' Hellmich said on a
visit to London... 'We have engaged an armada of lawyers who have been
advising us in terms of disclaimers and due diligence. Again it comes
back to the cost of doing business. It is time-consuming,' Hellmich
said." http://t.uani.com/1suzCBe
Bloomberg: "When Air France-KLM resumed
regular flights to Iran last month after an eight-year hiatus, gay
flight attendants urged Chief Executive Officer Frederic Gagey to let
them take a pass, given that homosexuality can get you executed in the
Islamic Republic. 'It's inconceivable to force someone to go to a
country where his kind are condemned to death for who they are,' stated
their online petition, signed by almost 30,000 people... The brutal
killing in Bangladesh last month of a gay activist employed by a U.S.
aid agency and increased commerce with Iran following its nuclear deal
framework have lent urgency to how companies interact with restrictive
governments. Increasingly, it is chief executives instead of
politicians who are faced with protecting the rights, and lives, of
LGBT employees." http://t.uani.com/25aCqEO
Tasnim
(Iran): "An
Iranian deputy foreign minister said hardline lobbies in the United
States as well as the Israeli regime and certain regional states are
inciting Iranophobia as a means to prevent Iran from reaping the
benefits of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Speaking to
Iran's state TV on Saturday, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and
International Affairs Seyed Abbas Araqchi said a wave of Iranophobia
has been created by hardline American lobbyists, Tel Aviv and certain
regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, to prevent Iran from
benefiting from the advantages of the post-sanctions era and the
nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA). Saying that major European banks are still tentative to return
to Iran's market, he stressed that their hesitation has its origins in
the anti-Iran moves that have sacred off financial entities to rekindle
ties with the Islamic Republic's banks." http://t.uani.com/1Tii98O
Fars
(Iran):
"Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi strongly
criticized the European banks for not seizing the opportunities created
after the implementation of the joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA), also known as the nuclear deal, to boost their cooperation
with Tehran. 'The basis of our cooperation with the European countries,
including Italy, is joint venture and transfer of technology within the
framework of the resistance economy: the European banks are burning the
opportunities through their fussy behavior,' Takht Ravanchi said on
Monday, addressing the Joint Iran-Italy Trade Conference." http://t.uani.com/1WAZSX3
Sanctions
Relief
JTA: "The United States is obliged
to make clear that certain sanctions no longer apply to non-American
banks when dealing with Iran, the U.S. Treasury secretary said. 'When
Iran took the actions that it took, we took the actions that we
committed to take, which is to lift nuclear sanctions,' Jacob Lew said
Monday at the Anti-Defamation League's annual leadership conference.
'It was imperative that we be clear what that meant.' Lew was asked at
the conference to respond to Stuart Levey, a former undersecretary of
the Treasury who was charged with implementing the sanctions. Levey,
the top lawyer for HSBC, a British bank, said last week that the Obama
administration is sending European banks mixed messages... 'It's also
important that Iran understands that there remain sanctions on
terrorism and the issues we've described,' Lew said." http://t.uani.com/1NwI4sW
Hindu: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi
will be on a two-day visit to Iran beginning May 22, 2016 as India
looks at stepping up engagement with the sanctions-free energy-rich
nation. India is looking at doubling oil imports from the Persian Gulf
nation, which a few years back was its second-biggest oil supplier, as well
as getting rights to develop a giant gas field. Also on cards is a deal
on developing the Chabahar port. 'At the invitation of the President of
the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr Hassan Rouhani, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi will pay an official visit to Iran on May 22-23, 2016,'
the Ministry of External Affairs said announcing the visit. During the
visit, Mr. Modi will call on the Supreme Leader of Iran and will hold
talks on a wide range of subjects of mutual interest with Mr.
Rouhani... In the run-up to Mr. Modi's visit, Road Transport and
Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and

TV (Iran):
"Iran has begun negotiations with Airbus to finalize the first
major deal for purchase of passenger planes since 1979, a senior
Iranian official says. The two sides signed a preliminary agreement
worth more than $27 billion in January for Iran's purchase of 118
planes from Airbus during a landmark trip to Paris by President Hassan
Rouhani. 'We started negotiations with Airbus to sign the contract
three days ago, and we hope to reach a conclusion and ink the deal,'
Deputy Transport Minister Asghar Fakhrieh-Kashan said on Monday.
However, no date has been set for the signing, he said, adding the
contract is a 500-page document including a large number of items which
will take time to sort out... The official also said 80 percent of
financial issues have been resolved and negotiations are underway to
resolve the remaining problems. The orders are being made in the form
of hire purchase under which a company will be founded to buy the plane
from Airbus so that domestic companies are not involved." http://t.uani.com/1XuS2gH
Press
TV (Iran):
"Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic plans to make an
official visit to Iran to hold talks with senior officials on a range
of issues. Heading a high-ranking politico-economic delegation, the
Croatian president will start her three-day visit to Tehran on Tuesday
at the invitation of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Iranian president's
deputy chief of staff for communications and information, Parviz
Esmaeili, said on Monday. He added that Rouhani will officially welcome
Grabar-Kitarovic on Wednesday and the two presidents will then begin
talks. In the presence of the Iranian and Croatian presidents, senior
officials of the two countries will sign several agreements and
memoranda of understanding for bolstering cooperation, Esmaeili said.
Later in the day, the Iranian president and his Croatian counterpart
will also attend a joint press conference, he noted. The Iranian
official said Grabar-Kitarovic will on Wednesday attend a meeting of
Iranian and Croatian economic activists and representatives of private
sectors and meet senior officials. He added that the Croatian leader
will wrap up her visit and leave Tehran on Thursday." http://t.uani.com/1suAOok
Financial
Tribune (Iran):
"Australia's federal government will provide $5.3 million over the
next four years for reopening its trade office in Iran. The office,
which closed in 2010, will be located within the Australian Embassy in
Tehran and operated by Austrade-the Australian government's trade,
investment and education promotion agency, also known as Australian
Trade Commission. It will seek trade opportunities for Australian
businesses and foster closer commercial and investment ties, Export
Dynamic, an Australian-owned content provider for local exporters,
reported. Aussie Trade Minister Steven Ciobo, who announced the
reopening plans earlier this year, says Iran has significant economic
potential for Australian exporters. 'It is a large regional economy
with a GDP of around $400 billion, a population of 80 million people
and has some of the world's largest reserves of oil and gas,' he said.
Australia's trade with Iran was about $350 million a year under
sanctions and this is expected to rise significantly following the
implementation of the nuclear deal in January." http://t.uani.com/1YvZPJk

NYT: "Iran's judiciary unleashed
one of its periodic crackdowns on social media permissiveness on
Sunday, announcing the arrest of eight people involved in online
modeling without a mandatory head scarf and questioning another woman,
a former model, live on state television on Sunday. A blogger, Mehdi
Abutorabi, 53, who managed a publishing tool called Persian Blog, was
also detained, the semiofficial student news agency ISNA reported
Monday. The former model, Elham Arab, 26, had been something of an
Instagram star, posting pictures of herself in bridal gowns with
eye-catching, dyed-blond hair. But on Sunday, months after her
Instagram account had been shut down, she wore a pious black scarf and
matching gloves as she was questioned by two prosecutors during a live
television program. In sharp contrast to the happy and glamorous images
of herself posted online, Ms. Arab spoke of her 'bitter experiences' in
Iran's technically illegal modeling industry and warned young women to
think twice before posting pictures of themselves online. 'You can be
certain that no man would want to marry a model whose fame has come by
losing her honor,' she said... But the main culprit was not Ms. Arab,
Tehran's public prosecutor, Abbas Jafar-Dolatabadi, concluded on the
television program. No, the main offender was 'the enemy,' Iran's
household label for the West and its unwanted influences. 'The enemy is
investing in order to create a generation without any willpower,' the
prosecutor said of social media. 'We must refrain from any actions that
run counter to the values of the establishment.' ... On the same
program, Iran's prosecutor for cybercrimes, Javad Babaei, announced the
arrest of the eight people, apparently in connection with online
modeling. His unit is focusing on Instagram, which is not blocked in
Iran. 'Sterilizing popular cyberspaces is on our agenda,' he said,
criticizing the introduction of broadband in the country 'without
considering the consequences.'" http://t.uani.com/1OB3q8L
Vanity
Fair: "The
Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp, an agency tasked with policing
domestic culture and heading off the influence of other nations, is
concerned about the social-media popularity of Kim Kardashian. A new
report from Iran Wire highlights just how deep the Guards' distaste for
Kardashian runs. A spokesman for the group's Organized Cyberspace
Crimes Unit accused Kardashian of working for Instagram as part of a
complicated ploy to 'target young people and women,' ostensibly
corrupting them with aspirational photos depicting a lifestyle that's
at odds with Islam. (Kardashian's paternal grandparents immigrated to
the United States from Armenia, which shares a border with Iran.) While
the idea of Kardashian as a secret agent might be absurd, the whole
ordeal is no laughing matter: one famous Iranian entertainer was
recently featured in what appears to be a forced confession, and the
Revolutionary Guards say they have warned 170 individuals, 29 of whom
are being targeted for prosecution. 'Ms. Kim Kardashian is a popular
fashion model so Instagram's C.E.O. tells her, Make this native,' the
spokesman, Mostafa Alizadeh, said on an Iranian news program. 'There is
no doubt that financial support is involved as well. We are taking this
very seriously.'" http://t.uani.com/1YyLI6b
Opinion
& Analysis
Brian
Caplen in The Banker: "The West's policy on Iran is totally confusing and
will not restart investment. For starters, the deal negotiated in
January for sanctions on Iran to be lifted in return for the scaling
back of nuclear activities still leaves many sanctions in place. Anyone
doing business with companies related to Iran's Revolutionary Guard
Corsp (IRGC), for example, could still be breaking both US and EU
sanctions. But with the IRGC embroiled in many economic activities in
the country, how could a bank ever be sure its due diligence was
correct? Then there is the strange situation whereby many of the edicts
prohibiting American banks from doing Iranian business are still in
place, such as the treasury department's listing of the Iranian
financial sector as a money-laundering risk, as well as Financial Action
Task Force (FATF) measures. This led to the farcical situation on May
12 when US secretary of state John Kerry met with European bankers to
try to persuade them that they could safely do business with Iran even
though American banks cannot. He has said previously: 'There are now
opportunities for foreign banks to do business with Iran...
unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion among some foreign
banks and we want to try to clarify that.' Perhaps Mr Kerry has
forgotten that US authorities have fined leading European banks such as
HSBC, Standard Chartered and BNP Paribas billions of dollars for
breaking sanctions against various countries, including Iran. Perhaps
he has forgotten that even if the state department says Iran business
is OK, it does not mean that the US's plethora of regulatory bodies and
legal arms will necessarily go along with that view. Perhaps he has
forgotten that he will not be in office in six months' time and that
Donald Trump, if elected president, has promised to renegotiate the
Iran deal. Small wonder that HSBC's chief legal officer Stuart Levey,
writing in the Wall Street Journal, says: 'HSBC has no intention of
doing any new business involving Iran. Governments can lift sanctions
but the private sector is still responsible for managing its own risk
and no doubt will be held accountable if it falls short.' Then there is
the no small matter that the American lobby group United Against
Nuclear Iran, led by Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN, is
trying to block the deal and discourage big companies from investing in
Iran. Meanwhile, the Iranians are complaining that since the deal was
agreed not much has changed and that financial transactions are as
difficult as ever. With disillusionment in Tehran and a change of
administration in Washington, there is every prospect the deal could
unravel." http://t.uani.com/1OxHqX9
Hagar
Hajjar Chemali in HuffPost: "There is a lot of complaining these days about
businesses and banks being reluctant to welcome Tehran with open arms
and invoices. UK officials point the finger at the United States for
British banks being hesitant to enter the Iranian market, and the vice
president of the European Parliament's Delegation for Relations with
the United States recently told the New York Times that 'Europe is
being taken hostage by American policy.' Ayatollah Khameini accused the
United States of creating 'Iranophobia.' (Ha, of course I have Iranophobia
- but I didn't need the United States to create it.) Businesses and
banks aren't avoiding Iran because of the United States; they are
apprehensive because they're swimming at their own risk. They are
afraid that dealing with Iran - a country that actively supports
terrorism and lacks even the most basic anti-money
laundering/counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) controls - could land
them into troubled waters and undermine their reputations. And quite
frankly, they're right. The only move that could help bring on the
business is for Tehran to change its foreign policy and improve its
financial transparency measures. Europe and Iran claim that the United
States is not living up to its end of the bargain of the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action. From the start of the nuclear
negotiations, however, the United States was clear: these negotiations
were focused specifically on preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear
weapon, and the success of those talks would result in the lifting of
nuclear-related sanctions. And from the beginning, the United States
stressed that sanctions related to Iran's support for terrorism, human
rights abuses, and destabilizing regional activity would remain. The
USA PATRIOT Act Section 311 action against Iran as a jurisdiction - the
key regulation that prevents U.S. businesses and banks from dealing
with Iran - remains in place and the United States never implied it
would be withdrawn. But that's how the United States wants to do (or
not do) business with Iran. If European businesses and banks want to do
business in a jurisdiction, the government of which actively sponsors
terrorism and is deficient on internationally accepted AML/CFT
measures, then they should be our guests (they should also probably
invest in iron-clad compliance systems). But if they don't, then it's
neither the United States' fault nor is it up to the United States to
ask them to do so. Notably, HSBC Holdings Chief Legal Officer and
former Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial
Intelligence Stuart Levey recently argued in an op-ed in the Wall
Street Journal that HSBC would make its decisions based on financial
risk. Though that may be in part due to U.S. regulations, it's
ultimately because Iran's support for terrorism, its deceptive
practices, and lack of a transparent legal and regulatory business
framework inherently make it a high-risk client... The only step that
could help businesses and banks run to Tehran isn't a change in U.S.
regulations or pleas by the United States - it's a change in Iran's own
foreign policy and an improvement in its AML/CFT deficiencies." http://t.uani.com/1WBk8YJ
