US officials in Singapore working to counter financing, revenue generation by Iran and its proxies.
Senior US Treasury officials are in Singapore to advance its work in countering financing and revenue generation by Iran and its proxies.
The official told reporters in a background briefing that the United States was trying to prevent Malaysia from becoming a jurisdiction where the Palestinian militant group Hamas could both fundraise and then move money. “It’s appalling that they seek to take advantage of the outpouring of support for the Palestinian people to siphon money for their violent and destabilising activities,” said the official, while declining to name the suspect charities.
The official said the United States saw Iranian oil being transferred near Singapore and throughout the region.
