The Israeli government took another step in its offensive against Iran by designating the Central Bank of that country as a terrorist organization. This was reported today by the Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, who justified the measure as an attempt to hit the heart of the economic apparatus that, according to Tel Aviv, holds hostile armed groups in the region.
The order was issued at the request of the Mossad Espionage Agency and the National Office to Fight Terrorism Financing, attached to the Ministry of Defense.
The objective, according to the Minister of Defense, is Cut the financing channels that, through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran, would go to organizations Like Hezbollah in Lebanon, the hutis in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq, as well as Hamas and other active Palestinian factions in the West Bank.
Katz affirmed that the Central Bank of Iran acts as a direct channel to transfer billions of dollars to groups that described as “responsible for murderous terrorism.” In addition, he warned that no entity linked to the Iranian regime will be safe from future actions.
