Lebanon Revokes License of Iran's Bank Saderat
Original: Lebanon Revokes License of Iran’s Bank Saderat Amid US Pressure
Lebanon has revoked the operating license of Iran's Bank Saderat, in a move reported by Bloomberg as coming amid pressure from the United States. The decision removes an Iranian state-owned bank long accused by Washington of financing allied groups from the Lebanese market. It underscores growing US leverage over Lebanon's financial sector and adds friction to Lebanon's ties with Iran.
Why now: The shutdown of an Iranian bank under US pressure signals shifting geopolitics and financial alignments in Lebanon.
