FWIW, saw this posted somewhere

Todays Reuters story: I spent a decade working in the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of a major global bank, so I know a thing or two about how money moves. There is absolutely no way the UAE could release even a fraction of the amounts being claimed to Iran without the US Treasury knowing about it. Anyone familiar with international banking, sanctions compliance, correspondent banking, and financial surveillance knows this story simply does not pass the most basic global finance reality check. It needs a clear published waiver from the US Treasury! None was issued!
