Iran still won’t sign accord against terror finance
February 23, 2015The International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism went into effect in 2002. Over 180 countries have signed the rather bland convention. But not Iran.
Not that we could take Iran at its word, but shouldn’t they agree to sign the convention prior to concluding a deal with Iran about their nuclear program?
Lebanon hasn’t signed it either. Other non-signatory countries with Islamist political movements include The Gambia and Chad. But they don’t have nuclear programs.

My cynical side wonders why Iran would ever sign an agreement that blocks Iran from doing something that benefits it. My cynical side also knows Iran very well.
Yes, which makes me wonder why Saudi Arabia and Qatar ever bothered signing it. Oh right–they wanted to give the appearance that they’re cooperating. Difference is that Iran doesn’t even care about appearances.
Exactly.
