I will have signed an Executive Order directing American banks located within the United States which hold Iranian deposits to transfer those deposits...
The title was very carefully chosen by me. And the first word is the most important. It's Palestine. The land of the Palestinians. It doesn't refer to Israel at all.
All persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States in possession or control of properties, not including funds and securities, owned by Iran or its agencies, instrumentalities, or controlled entities are licensed, authorized, directed and compelled to transfer such properties, as directed after the effective date of this Order by the Government of Iran, acting through its authorized agent.
All licenses and authorizations for acquiring or exercising any right, power, or privilege, by court order, attachment, or otherwise, with respect to the properties described in Sections 1-101 and 1-102 of this Order are revoked and withdrawn.
