US sanctions Turkish bank over Iran ties, bank vows legal challenge
TL;DR Summary
The US Treasury sanctioned Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi and two subsidiaries on the OFAC list for allegedly facilitating tens of millions in transactions for Iran and helping the IRGC-QF move funds internationally, including via a proposed path for oil revenues. The bank denies the accusations, says it complies with laws, and will pursue legal action; Washington says the move targets Tehran’s access to the global financial system, while Turkish officials caution against reading it as a broader indictment of Turkey’s economy.
