The US Treasury Department announced on November 15th (local time) that it will intensify monitoring and blocking of funds sent to the Iranian regime disguised as religious donations. This includes scrutiny of funds identified as “Islamic tithe,” known as *zakat* in Arabic and *khoms* in Persian, a religious obligation in Islam. The move aims to disrupt financial flows indirectly supporting the Iranian government. US officials expressed concerns that charitable donations were being exploited to bypass existing sanctions. The regulations will increase oversight of transactions labeled as religious contributions to Iran. This action reflects a continued effort by the United States to exert financial pressure on Tehran. The Treasury intends to prevent resources from reaching entities linked to destabilizing activities.
