His travel to the Middle East is intended to increase restrictions on terrorist groups’ access to the global financial system.
Treasury Secretary Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John Hurley is traveling to the Middle East to seek support for President Trump’s plan to pressure Iran by restricting terrorist groups’ access to the global financial system.
The Treasury Department stated, “Under Secretary Hurley will work with partners to effectively implement and enforce United Nations sanctions and measures that were reimposed as a result of Iran’s failure to meet its international obligations.“
“President Trump has made clear that Iran’s destabilizing and terrorist activities must be met with sustained and coordinated pressure,” said Under Secretary Hurley. “I look forward to meeting with our partners to coordinate our efforts to deny Tehran and its proxies the financial access they rely on to evade international sanctions, fund violence, and undermine stability in the region.”
The under secretary will meet with officials in Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Lebanon.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Under Secretary Hurley as he seeks cooperation from Middle Eastern partners to apply pressure on Iran and implement the UN sanctions.
- For Secretary Bessent to be discerning as he oversees the Treasury Department and its agencies.
