Tehran, May 19, The Iran Project - The second-ranked official at the International Monetary Fund said Iran must tackle problems in its banking system and bolster anti-money laundering and terrorism-financing laws if it wants to reconnect to the global economy, in supporting US policies toward Iran's sanctions on banking system.

�Lenders here have to acknowledge that foreign banks will make decisions based on their assessments of risk management,��David Lipton, Managing Director Christine Lagarde�s deputy at the Washington-based lender stated.

He made the remarks� in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday in Tehran.

Four months after so-called sanctions relief regarding Iran�s nuclear deal with world powers, European lenders have said doing business is risky while other U.S. trade restrictions remain in place.

Lipton, a former special assistant to U.S. President Barack Obama, said�Iran must fix own banks to win overseas business,�rejecting US role in European avoiding trade with the country.

"?US aims to learn about the activities of�Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Resistance movement by putting tough restrictions on Iran's banking system, IRGC is a state-organization, then US Army as well as CIA's financial transactions should be available for all,"�an informed source told The Iran Project.
