The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on Iran's Bank Refah for facilitating the purchase of millions of dollars worth of missiles and tanks by the Defense Ministry.
Those purchases enabled Iran's leadership to maintain its
fighter jets and submarines, the U.S. Treasury Department said in its
announcement.
"Treasury has now exposed 20 banks owned by the
government of Iran for supporting Iran's nuclear and missile programs or
terrorism," said Stuart Levey, Treasury Undersecretary for Terrorism and
Financial Intelligence.
Treasury said Bank Refah also facilitated payments from
the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company to businesses and
individuals linked to Iran's weapons-related procurement.
"The pervasiveness of this illicit conduct explains
why legitimate financial institutions everywhere are deciding to shun Iranian
banks," said Levey, a holdover from the Bush administration who announced
his resignation late last month.
The latest actions prohibit U.S. entities from any
transactions with the designated firms and individuals, and seek to freeze
assets they may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
Previous similar moves also have effectively cut off
international financing to sanctioned entities.
The European Union imposed sanctions against Bank of
Refah in July 2010, the Treasury said.
Iran says its nuclear enrichment program is designed to
generate electric power. The United States and its Western allies accuse it of
seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
