TEHRAN -- Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday strongly rejected recent charges against the country’s central bank and a number of other banks by the government of Bahrain, noting that such measures are purely based on political motivations.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly rejects accusations leveled against the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian banks in Bahrain,” Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said. “Bringing up such cases and leveling baseless accusations and allegations against the Central Bank of Iran, Saderat and Melli banks, and their managers are solely based on political motivations and lack any legal value.”
