Senator Coburn seeks transparency with World Bank and U.N. programs in Iran


Senator Tom Coburn sent a letter to Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Henry Paulson, requesting information regarding licenses and other documents the Treasury Department has for World Bank and United Nations programs in Iran. Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism and is under U.S. and international sanctions. Reports suggest World Bank and U.N. programs in Iran violate U.S. law, but due to both institutions refusing basic transparency requests, it is difficult to verify the reports or know whether U.S. funds are being spent as intended.
