May 19 - Shahab Dalili, a Virginia resident and lawful permanent resident of the United States, has been released from Iran after more than a decade of imprisonment following his arrest at a Tehran airport in 2016, where authorities detained him as he prepared to return home after attending his father’s funeral. Iranian officials accused him of collaborating with the United States government and sentenced him to Evin Prison, a case that advocates described as a clear example of arbitrary detention and hostage diplomacy. His release was announced by Hostage Aid Worldwide, the organization that led sustained advocacy efforts on his behalf over the course of his imprisonment.

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday the United States and Iran have made a lot of progress in their talks and neither side wants to see a resumption of the military campaign.

“We think that we’ve made a lot of progress. We think the Iranians want to make a deal,” Vance told reporters at a White House briefing.

Vance said he had just spoken to Trump, who stressed that the core issue for the U.S. is that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. If that happens, Vance said, countries around the [Persian] Gulf would then want their own weapon, then other countries across the world would as well.

“We want to keep the number of countries that have nuclear weapons small, and that’s why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he said.

The United States wants Iran to work with Washington on a process to ensure that the Iranians would not rebuild their nuclear weapons capacity in the years to come.

“That’s what we’re trying to accomplish in negotiations,” he said.

Trump is under pressure to reach an accord that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz – a key route for global supplies of oil and other commodities. Trump has previously expressed hope that a deal was close on ending the conflict, and similarly threatened to renew military strikes ‌on Iran ⁠if it did not reach an accord.

When asked if Russia could take possession of Iran‘s enriched uranium, Vance said: “That is not currently the plan of the United States government. The Iranians have not raised it.”

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – U.S. President Dona

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States may need to hit Iran again and he was only an hour away from deciding on a strike before he postponed the attack.

“I was an hour away from making the decision to go today,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Trump said Iran‘s leaders are begging to make a deal, but a new U.S. attack would happen in the coming days if a deal is not reached.

“Well, I mean, I’m saying two or three days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something, maybe early next week, a limited period of time, because we can’t let them have a new nuclear weapon.”

By David Lawder
PARIS, May 19 (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday called on allies to more forcefully disrupt Iran‘s financing networks and said the Treasury would scrub its sanctions list of outdated designations to make it easier for financial institutions to root out the most sophisticated terrorist financing schemes.

Bessent told an anti-terrorism financing conference after G7 finance leaders met in Paris that participants needed to “stand with us in full measure” against Iran.

“That will require, for example, our European partners to join the United States in taking action against Iran by designating its financiers, unmasking its shell and front companies, shuttering its bank branches, and dismantling its proxies,” Bessent said. “It will require those of you in the Middle East and Asia to root out Iran‘s shadow banking networks.”

Bessent told Reuters in an interview that Iranian bank branches in Europe were not taking deposits but “that branch manager is doing something. Just close it.”

May 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. seized an Iran-linked

May 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. seized an Iran-linked oil tanker in the Indian Ocean overnight, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing three U.S. officials.

The tanker, known as the Skywave, was sanctioned by the U.S. in March for its role in transporting Iranian oil and was likely loaded with more than a million barrels of crude at Iran‘s Kharg Island in February, the report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – The Trump administr

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed sanctions on an Iranian foreign currency exchange house and what it said were front companies overseeing transactions on behalf of Iranian banks as the U.S. maintains pressure on Tehran.

The move came after Iran said its latest peace proposal to the United States over the U.S.-Israeli led war that started February 28 involves ending hostilities on all fronts including Lebanon, the exit of U.S. forces from areas close to Iran, and reparations for destruction caused by the conflict.

The Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the Iran-based Amin Exchange, also known as Ebrahimi and Associates Partnership Company, which it said has a widespread network of front companies spanning multiple jurisdictions, including in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Hong Kong.

The U.S. also blocked 19 vessels it said were involved in shipping Iranian petroleum and petrochemicals to foreign customers.

The Treasury Department said Iranian exchange houses facilitate billions of dollars in foreign currency transactions a year, enabling the government to evade sanctions and access the international financial system. It said the front companies oversee hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions on behalf of Iranian banks.

“Iran’s shadow banking system facilitates the illicit transfer of funding for terrorist purposes,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a release. “As Treasury systematically dismantles Tehran’s shadow banking system and shadow fleet under Economic Fury, financial institutions must be alert to how the regime manipulates the international financial system to wreak havoc.”
