US Sanctions on Iranian Banks in UAE and Dubai Trade
First report 20h agoLast update 1h agoDespite US sanctions and pressure, Iranian banks (like Melli and Saderat) and some businesses continue to operate in the UAE, though trade with Dubai shows signs of strain.
Washington is pursuing a comprehensive strategy of economic strangulation, military pressure, and exhaustion to force Iran into negotiations under stricter terms, while Iran attempts to circumvent sanctions.
The US is actively sanctioning entities, including a branch of Bank Misr in the UAE and a Dubai National Bank manager, accusing them of facilitating Iranian regime financial activities and money laundering.
