CBI Chief Censures South Korea Banks

In a meeting with South Korean Ambassador Ryu Jeong-hyun, the governor of the Central Bank of Iran faulted banks in that country for blocking Iranian assets and creating financial difficulties for Iran’s businesses. 
“Origin of these assets are clear and there is no justification for Korean banks to stop Iran from accessing its own resources on the excuse of US sanctions,” Abdolnasser Hemmati said, the CBI website reported. 
Expressing the government’s disappointment over the issue, Hemmati told the diplomat that the Korean banks’ lack of cooperation is not acceptable by the people and government of Iran.
