Lebanon revokes license of Iran's Bank Saderat, Bloomberg reports

Single source · Lebanon, Lebanon (approximate) · 2026-10-15 15:02 UTC

Bloomberg reports that Lebanon revoked the license of Iran's Bank Saderat amid US pressure. An anonymous X account (@ME_Observer_) relays the same action, attributing it to Lebanon's central bank acting at US request, but appears to draw on the same report. No official confirmation was found.

Sources disagree on:

• Bloomberg attributes the revocation to Lebanon generally, while @ME_Observer_ names Lebanon's central bank as the actor.
• Bloomberg describes the move as taken 'amid US pressure', while @ME_Observer_ says it was taken 'at US request', a stronger claim about US involvement.
• @ME_Observer_ is an anonymous account and its roundup does not name its own source, so it cannot be treated as a separate confirmation.
