UK severs ties with Iranian banks

[fd24]

The UK government has imposed new financial restrictions against Iran which will cut off all financial ties with Iranian banks.

It follows the International Atomic Energy Agency's report on Iran and concerns about its nuclear programme.

From 1500 GMT on Monday, all UK credit and financial institutions are required to cease all transactions with banks including the Central Bank of Iran.

It is the first time the UK has cut off a country's banking sector in this way.
The powers were created under the 2008 Counter-Terrorism Act.

Iran insists its nuclear programme is purely civilian and for scientific research, but Western nations fear it is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

A report from the IAEA earlier this month says the organisation "has serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme".

It said Iran had "carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device".

They are complete hypocrites - only the west can decide who has nukes and who doesn't.
It has been proven that the Zionist state Israel entertains apartheid, it also has committed dozens of atrocities against innocent civilians and constantly lie - yet they of course MUST have them - Iran are not allowed to protect themselves.

IAEA is the puppet of US and West ... they give free hand to Israel and on the other side they oppose Iran of doing same ...
Double standards of West are crystal clear .. they are supporting terrorist state of Israel and on the other side they call Iran a terrorist

Shame on that bharti...

and how did you conclusively ascertain that he was a Bharati?Plus,learn how to spell "Bharati" cuz you might think misspelling it makes you look like a cool bigot but most of us in here are thinking "The moron never passed secondary school"

Hey superkaif,

Do you really think Iran will be as mature as India or Pakistan with the use of nuclear weapons?Remember,we did go to war even after being armed with nukes and yet were able sensible enough to understand the follies of turning the battle nuclear.Can we expect the same restraint from Iran?

I agree, Iran seem far too unpredictable. Seeing as they called the UK evil I certainly wouldn't feel safe if they got their hands on some nukes.

I believe before Pakistan or India got nukes the same noises were being made. I believe the west portrays the image of Iran in a particularly bad light. If there is one pro Iranian statement - it is counter balanced by 20 anti Iranian statements. It gives an image of Iran being a rogue nation. What is unfair internationally countries have hand cuffs put on them by the USA limiting who has what. Why should they be the world self appointed police? Why should they decide who has them and who doesn't?
What right do Israel for example have of killing Iranian scientists? Is it fair to have pre conceived judgement about a nation? Is it fair when there is no evidence of inconclusive evidence of decisions to be made?
Is it fair to ban all people from having a gun because you know the potential of what a gun can do? It can and is a deterrent and each nation in the world has a right to defends its land cyphercide.

no need of any restraint for Iran, because America made the nuke for the first time , America is the only country who used it against another country, remember it was not used at a war zone, it was dropped in pure residential area. still america is good boy among the nations .if west doesn't have any restraints , why east ?

everybody knows Iran is trying to make nuke. let them make, no one have the "mature-meter" to measure the maturity of a nation to have nuke.

Either Nuke for everybody or nuke for nobody....that is the legitimate policy

Iran is an ancient civilization so there is no need to worry. I guess you have digested too much anti Iranian western propaganda. Remember only west has used nuclear weapons on humans and also in the past centuries west has killed more humans than all other nations combined.

Actually Iran made a mistake after the revolution when they closed down only American and Israeli embassies. They should have closed down British embassy as well. Britain gave birth to both these nations and it was the mother lode but some how Iranians forgot about it. Anyways it is never too late. Britain is very cunning and any kind of relations with it is going to be tricky.

Can you explain to us how "seems far too unpredictable"? Enlighten us please.

Kudos to UK, you know exactly like 99% of the " civilized world" knows who are the biggest threat to mankind. the fanaticial crowd .... and the dangerous mullahs of the world who rule countries. Even as recent as few montsh ago ,we saw the unblanced nut jobs in Iran busted for an assasination plot on the KSA ambassador. that regime is bonkers...it is ruled not by " civilized" laws rather the messages they think they getting fom their tin foil hats. Nukes are not a deterrrent for them, its an offensive weapon in the name of fanatical causes..

Oh and Kudos to India too- for voting against Iran in the UN onec again!

mad men should be collectively voted down.

Their President is quite mad as I'm sure you know. He has called for Israel to be wiped out, genocide.
Nukes in the hands of a genocidal madman? No thanks.

I do agree that the west can't self appoint itself as the sole arbitrator but what else do we have a shot on preserving the Middle East eh?Deescalation of matters is what is required if we are being honest on the capabilities on Iran to strike the United States(heck,even we can't hit Washington let alone Iran!!!).Iran's use of nuclear weapons(if they choose to) is going to render the entire Middle East in peril.Now tell me why should the rest like Saudi Arabia suffer for the doings of Tehran?

Ahmadinejad was misquoted by bad media he never said to wipe out Israel he said Israel will be forgotten from the pages of history.

this will badly effect iranian economy..specially exports/imports and foreign transaction..
Too long the world has relied on Western infrastructure for world trade..Now is the time for some other financial power to step in...Chinese banks should try to make a global network of their own for foreign currency transactions.
UK is being daft by doing this and this will effect their own banks also as they will be deprived of large amounts of money...
