Abstract

The article focuses on the U.S. increased scrutiny on Iran's access to international financing, particularly its 6.6 billion holdings in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), following the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel. It delves into the nature of SDRs, Iran's SDRs, U.S. policy regarding SDR transactions with state-sponsors of terrorism, and potential options for Congress to address concerns about Iran's use of SDR resources.
