US May Be Breaching Islamabad MoU Over Iran Funds

Paragraph 11 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding states that any funds, whether kept in the original account or transferred, must be fully usable for payment to any ultimate beneficiary designated by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. A Financial Times report suggests the United States is either not complying with this explicit obligation or has entered a secret arrangement with Iran, which would be even more disgraceful if known in advance.

— Paragraph 11, Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding:
‘Such funds, whether retained in the original account or transferred, shall be made fully usable for payment to any ultimate beneficiary designated by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran.’
If the Financial Times report is accurate, the U.S. is either not abiding by its explicit obligation as stated in the MoU, or a secret arrangement was made with Iran and this was known beforehand—which would be even more shameful.
