US Sanctions Turkish Bank and Subsidiaries Over Alleged Iran Financial Links
The US Treasury Department sanctioned Turkey-based Golden Global Bank and its two subsidiaries for allegedly facilitating financial transactions linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). The sanctions aim to cut Iran's access to international finance by targeting correspondent banking services that move Iranian oil revenues and funds globally. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the campaign, called Operation Economic Outcast, seeks to pressure Iran back to negotiations. Golden Global Bank denied the allegations, asserting compliance with banking regulations and intent to pursue legal action.
