WASHINGTON — In the latest and perhaps most unusual attempt to choke off Iran's access to the global financial system, the Treasury Department on Wednesday designated a New York real-estate partnership as a front company for Bank Melli, one of Iran's biggest state-owned banks.
In a related action, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York filed a civil complaint Wednesday seeking a forfeiture of the alleged straw company's 40 percent ownership stake in a 36-story building on Fifth Avenue near Rockefeller Center. The U.S. government had already seized more than $3.1 million in two bank accounts in the U.S.

Do you think this could in any way be linked a financial attack on the US? Or is it simply an easy way to get money world wind to Islamic terror groups?

I am baffled. Who knows how deep this goes. It could just be a way to fund terror cells all over the world, or yeah it could be much worse.
