Loading ...Iran has successfully repatriated this week 13 tons of gold as part of a package of sanctions relief provided by the U.S. and other five global powers, the head of the country’s central bank (CBI) announced.
The bullion was transferred from South Africa, which had been holding onto the assets due to sanctions meant to pressure Tehran to rein in its nuclear program.
The head of Iran’s central bank, Valiollah Seif, noted the gold had not been transferred to Tehran before “because of illogical problems created under the pretext of sanctions,” Tasnim News Agency reports.
