The US President Donald Trump in line with his policy of waging economic terrorism against Iran, imposed sanctions against Central Bank of Iran (CBI).
Speaking in a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Trump announced he had imposed sanctions on CBI at “the highest level”.
The US Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Friday blacklisted the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), the National Development Fund of Iran (NDF), and the "Etemad Tejarate Pars Co." for the alleged supporting terrorism.
OFAC claimed that the sanctions were imposed due to financing Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), its Qods Force and Hezbollah.
This is while, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said the allegations made at the diplomatic level needs to have a minimum notion to believe.
