@TobyDersh: "Officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been debating whether to join the UN anti-terrorism conventions for years. This should not be complicated. They have not adopted them because Tehran has not made a strategic decision to end its use of terrorism, even though getting off FATF’s blacklist would economically benefit the people of Iran. Whether or not Iran technically joins the conventions, Iran’s bankrolling of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Houthis, who block world trade, must cease before Tehran can be removed from the blacklist."
