A top Iranian legislative body has started renewed discussions on whether the country should join two controversial conventions adopted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) amid calls that accepting the conventions could ease the pressure of foreign sanctions on the country.

As a growing number of Iranian economic leaders stress the importance of joining the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to enhance the country's global trade share, the head of the country’s Chamber of Commerce has stressed, adding that integrating with FATF would significantly benefit Iran's economy and improve international relations.
