Iran's central bank urges US to lift sanctions

TEHRAN: The governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), Abdolnasser Hemmati, has urged the US to remove banking sanctions against the Islamic Republic, state media reported. Iran has been insisting on the removal of banking sanctions as a condition to return to full compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Xinhua news agency quoted Hemmati as saying on Sunday.

Then, Iran will verify the removal of sanctions against the CBI and other Iranian banks, and money transfer via SWIFT and between Iranian and other major foreign banks, said Hemmati. (IANS)
