Biden, Congress Should Defend Terrorism Sanctions Imposed on Iran
Research memo Biden, Congress Should Defend Terrorism Sanctions Imposed on Iran By Richard Goldberg, Saeed Ghasseminejad, Behnam Ben Taleblu, Matthew Zweig, and Mark Dubowitz January 25, 2021 During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing to consider Antony Blinken’s nomination for secretary of state, Blinken was asked whether he believed it is in America’s national security interest to lift terrorism sanctions currently imposed on Iran, including sanctions targeting Iran’s central bank, national oil company, financial sector, and energy sector. “I do not,” Blinken responded. “And I think there is nothing, as I see it, inconsistent with making sure that we are doing everything possible – including the toughest possible sanctions, to deal with Iranian support for terrorism.”1 Bipartisan support for terrorism sanctions targeting Iran goes back to 1984, when the United States first designated the Islamic Republic as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Since then, every U.S. president2 – Republican or Democrat – and Congress have taken steps to reaffirm U.S. policy opposing Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and tying sanctions relief to Iran’s cessation of terror-related activities. President Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), if Iran returns to “strict compliance” with the agreement.3 Terrorism sanctions on Iran, however, should not be lifted, even if the Biden administration opts to return to the deal, unless and until Iran verifiably halts its sponsorship of terrorism. This memorandum provides an overview of Iran’s past and ongoing involvement in terrorism-related activities, a review of longstanding bipartisan congressional support for terrorism sanctions on Iran, and a list of terrorism sanctions currently imposed on Iran that should not be lifted. -

Credit Rating Companies with Multi-Criteria Decision Making Models and Artificial Neural Network Model
J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 3(5)536-546, 2013 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2013, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com Credit Rating Companies with Multi-Criteria Decision Making Models and Artificial Neural Network Model Maghsoud Amiri1, Mehdi Biglari Kami*2 1Allameh Tabatabaei University, Tehran, Iran 2Institute of Higher Education Raja, Qazvin, Iran ABSTRACT This research seeks to develop a procedure for credit rating of manufacturing corporations accepted in Tehran stock exchange. So, financial ratios of 181 manufacturing corporations in Iran stock exchange were extracted, These ratios reflect the financial ability to pay principal and interest of loan. Initially, fifty selected corporations ranked by using TOPSIS method based on financial ratios by using of Shannon entropy will be obtained the weight of each criterion. In addition, classification credit with neural network has compared by logistic regression; and finally, each had more credibility, used to rank all corporations. Then all corporations have classified by neural network. Finally, the neural network classification results compared with the expert classification. About 95% of the neural network data has placed in its respective class, and the data results indicated a robust neural network classification based on training. The neural network offered far more accurate answer than the logistic regression in this classification. At the end, the neural network ranked all corporations, and neural network classification results compared with expert opinion, showing that the neural network classification was very close to an expert opinion. KEYWORDS: Financial ratios; TOPSIS; Artificial neural network; Logistic regression. INTRODUCTION Today, the credit industry plays an important role in the economy of corporations.
