PKK and its Iranian branch, the PJAK’s armed terrorist group are on the blacklist of terrorist groups in America, Europe, Iran and Turkey. To continue its terrorist acts, this group is strongly dependent on contributions from some countries in the region in addition to money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking and extortion and kidnapping.

The Persian Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, have repeatedly contributed to this group in order to make the western borders of Iran insecure and spillover the conflicts into Iran.

In fact, PJAK, as a terrorist group, is wholly dependent on foreign aids in the fields of finance, information, military and media. Regarding Saudi Arabia’s approach toward Iran, especially during the era of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, there is also a need to mention important evidences. Supporting the independence referendum in Iraq Kurdistan (supported only by Israel) illustrated the Saudi policy of encroaching Iran’s territorial integrity.

Saudi officials believe that the idea of establishing the great Kurdistan will destroy the ideals of Iran, Iraq and Turkey, so the Saudi Kingdom supports independence of Kurdistan and emphasizes on the formation of Kurdistan state. Behind the scenes US along side with Israeli regime has also supported PJAK to inflict damages to Iran.

Seymour Hersh (the New Yorker magazine journalist) disclosed in 2008 that US forces are supporting PJAK as part of their plan to mess up Iran. He also reveald that both US and Israel provide PJAK with financial aid of $ 400 million.

Also, White House national security adviser John Bolton explicitly outlined three strategies or policies toward Iran, in his article in the National Review, which included support for separatist movements in Khuzestan, Baluchestan and Kurdistan of Iran. PJAK is practically engaged in terrorist activities under the pretext of protecting Kurdish rights in the northwest of Iran.

Turkish Yeni Şafak newspaper has recently reported on the Persian Gulf states’ aid of $ 1 billion to PKK which big part of it will go to its Iranian offshoot, PJAK . Most portion of the aid have been provided by the Saudi Arabia and the UAE to aid the terrorist activities of the terrorist groups against iran.

Today morning, a number of principalist representatives submitted a letter of protest to the Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani and members of the Expediency Council (EC) on the move taken by the Parliament Speaker in sending two bills pertinent to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to the Expediency Council.

Given the above issue, the representatives lashed out at the relevant two bills which run contrary to the internal bylaw of the Parliament.

The four-group bills of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) include as follows: ‘Iran’s accession to the Contention of Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT)’, ‘Iran’s accession to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime dubbed ‘Palermo’, ‘correction of Anti-Money Laundering Law’ and ‘amendments to the law on Combating the Financing of Terrorism’.

The aforementioned bills became controversial in the political spheres of the country especially in the Iranian Parliament. In this regard, the two bills of ‘Palermo’ and ‘amendment of the Anti-Money Laundering Law’ were submitted to the Guardians’ Council after being approved in the Parliament.

After examining these bylaws thoroughly, the Guardians’ Council returned the bill with some amendments on it to the Iranian Parliament on Oct. 10.

One day after the return of these bylaws from the Guardians’ Council on Oct. 11, the Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in a separate letters sent the aforementioned bylaws i.e. ‘Palermo’ and ‘Anti-Money Laundering Law’ to the Chairman of Expediency Council Ayatollah Hashemi Shahroudi.

With due observance to the said issue, the said letter has turned into a hub of protest by some principalist’s representatives in the Parliament.

Now, some MPs say that Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has sent the two bills to the Expediency Council without investigation of the two bill in the Parliament’s plenary session as refunded from the Guardians’ Council, the issue of which has presently been criticized.
