Austria has become a “hub” for Iranian-linked money laundering, according to experts at the Simon Wiesenthal Center quoted by the Jerusalem Post.

Analysts worry that these and other gaps will undermine the international sanctions regime upon which Western countries have pinned hopes for a non-military solution to Iran’s widely-suspected nuclear weapons program.
