Iran Press/Iran news: Regarding the extension of secondary sanctions to the rest of the Iranian banks, the Governor of Iran's Central Bank stated that a number of these banks are responsible for transferring resources to purchase medicine and food, and the foreign banks that traded with these banks have in fact received the necessary exemptions and licenses to finance the exchange of medicine and food products.
Abdul Nasser Hemmati added: "Although in the past months we were in dire straits to provide medicine and food to the people due to the US maximum pressure, so far, we have not allowed any shortages to be felt in the country.
He said: "From now on, the central bank, along with the private sector, will use all its efforts to provide medicine and basic goods needed by the people in various ways and will not allow more pressure on the people in this area."
Hemmati emphasized that the US move was aimed at US domestic propaganda and political purposes rather than at its economic impact and it shows that the claims of human rights and humanity of the leaders of this country are false and deceptive, and such actions will definitely be recorded in the memory of the Iranian nation.
