US sanctions Turkish bank for aiding Iran's oil revenue transfers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi, a Turkish bank, for allegedly facilitating Iran's transfer of oil revenue from China to Turkey. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced this as part of "Operation Economic Outcast," aimed at isolating Iran financially. The bank is accused of converting Iranian oil revenues into cash and gold and knowingly providing services to sanctioned Iranian entities. This action follows a settlement by Halkbank for a similar, larger-scale scheme involving Iranian oil revenues. AI
