USA imposes sanctions on Iranian bank and its Minsk affiliate
The bank “Tejarat” is suspected of financing a nuclear programme.
The sanctions have also hit the Belarusian affiliate of “Tejarat” - Trade Capital Bank. They will not be able to access the international financial system from now on.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner have made a joint statement claiming that it is another attempt to exercise pressure on Teheran, informs the BBC.
Let us remind you that the EU decided to refuse from Iranian oil supplies yesterday.
