Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Governor of the Central Bank, criticized the British government's action to intensify financial restrictions against five Iranian banks in this country in an exclusive interview with a Fars news reporter. He interpreted this action as a kind of donating spilled oil, saying: "This is the same as donating spilled oil to the Imamzadeh ourselves."
Economic Pressures and Reactions
Hemmati further stated that it seems the U.S. Treasury has reached the end of the line in applying economic pressure on Iran. He added that many different countries, aiming to show their alignment and compliance with the U.S., have taken steps to limit the activities of banks that have not conducted any banking operations related to Iran under U.S. sanctions for years.

This action could help create a more cohesive and efficient financial structure.
