Tehran refutes reports about problems of foreign banks
Foreign banks have no problems for dealing with Iran, Deputy
Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Abbas Araqchi
said on Sunday, IRNA reported.
Speaking to the state TV, he added that Iranian diplomats should
not be worry about their remarks abroad when they are addressing
Iran's foreign partners.
Iranian top nuclear negotiator referred to the recent remarks by
president of Central Bank of Iran while addressing US policy makers
and said Mr. Seif's remarks and blaming Washington for continuation
of pressures against Iranian banks was a right action.
Iran's diplomacy for removal of sanctions have been successful and
US high-ranking officials have underlined that there is no obstacle
on the ways of revival of ties between non-American banks and their
Iranian partners, the diplomat added.
He said that many of European banks have not transited from the
period of sanctions to the post-deal era and the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation has a duty to convince the European banks to
revive their ties with Iran.
Saying that Iran has still some problem for transfer of its
released assets as well as the oil revenues to the country, Araqchi
urged US officials to facilitate the issue.
