TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati says South Korea which has been holding some $7 billion in Iranian funds for the past two years should pay damage to the Islamic Republic.
Hemmati told the Bloomberg in a written interview published Tuesday that banking and financial experts should determine the amount of damage suffered by Iran for the period it has been unable to access its funds in South Korea. "… we believe that those Korean banks should pay the damage suffered by the Islamic Republic of Iran during these two years,” he said.
