Canadian intelligence reveals a company involved in transferring money to Iran and Hezbollah

The misfortunes continue at the head of the militias that the mullah regime finances and implants in various regions of the world with the aim of destabilizing security and stability to achieve special Iranian agendas.

After the Israeli attack, which was revealed to be targeting trucks to transport money to Hezbollah leaders, today a Canadian intelligence investigation shows the involvement of a money exchange company in helping Iran transfer millions of dollars to Canada, according to a report from the Canadian website “961”.

The report says that the exchange company “Ong” helped Tehran transfer money from Bank Saderat, a bank controlled by the Iranian regime and used to finance Lebanese Hezbollah.

According to the report, Canadian intelligence accuses 44-year-old Alireza Onagi, an immigrant investor, of posing a threat to the country’s national security for helping Tehran transfer money to Canada.

The report quoted the Canadian Intelligence Service, writing in its December 2019 report, that the funds were funneled through Dubai to “circumvent sanctions.”

Although the amount that was transferred from Iran to Canada is still unknown, intelligence estimates it in the millions.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service report confirms that an exchange company transfers funds to Canada from the Saderat Bank, on which Canada and the US Treasury have imposed sanctions for its financing of Hamas and Hezbollah.

In 2006, the UN Security Council issued Resolution 1696 and imposed sanctions on Iran after it refused to suspend its uranium enrichment program. Canada imposed additional sanctions in June 2010.

And last year, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the international network through which money passes to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, targeting 25 individuals and entities with financial sanctions.

The sanctions aim to shut down the global financial system to those it targets by prohibiting US citizens and businesses, as well as international banks with a US presence, from dealing with them.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, adopted a policy of “maximum pressure” towards Iran, and decided in 2018 to unilaterally withdraw from the agreement on the nuclear program concluded between Tehran and the main powers, and to re-impose tough economic sanctions on Tehran.
