The US Treasury Office for Foreign Assets Control has recently allowed opening of a financial channel for sending humanitarian aid exclusively to Iran's Red Crescent Society, head of IRCS said. The society has received aid through the channel in recent days.
"We had informed the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies about the need for a secure financial channel for IRCS to receive humanitarian assistance and donations from overseas," IRNA quoted Karim Hemmati as saying.
American individuals and organizations are not allowed to use the channel, this was the US Treasury's only condition for authorizing the channel, Hemmati said.
