NCRI –\u00a0Le Monde published a piece on Iran\u2019s frozen $1.6 billion in Luxembourg banks.<\/p>\n
Iran, facing numerous obstacles in its path to establish links with European banks, is angry of its revenue being blocked in such methods. A cat and mouse game and 10-year dispute pursued by a number of American lawyers against Iran\u2019s Central Bank has now spread to Europe.<\/p>\n
From 20 years ago American courts have registering $50 billion in compensation so far through issuing rulings in response to terrorist attacks related to the Lebanese Hezbollah, an ally of Iran.<\/p>\n
The response of the Iranian regime\u2019s elements and media continues on the confiscation of this $1.6 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government must confiscate $1.6 billion of Luxembourg\u2019s assets. Plundering Iran\u2019s assets are against the fundamental principles of international relations,\u201d said Hossein Ghazizadeh, a member of the Iranian parliament\u2019s board of directors. \u201cThis government began decreasing tensions, yet we are witnessing increasing hostile action by the U.S. during this period. Currently our strategy is peace through showing weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Central Bank chief attempted to hold the government of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad responsible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the previous government we had the opportunity to transfer these assets prior to being frozen. However, for some reason they failed to take that opportunity,\u201d Valiollah Seif said to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.<\/p>\n
A state-run website also blamed the Ahmadinejad cabinet and wrote, \u201cWe are still cleaning up the aftershocks of that government\u2019s miscalculated decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very strange that the U.S., which has violated all international laws, seeks to confiscate assets of the Central Bank while this entity enjoys immunity,\u201d said Iranian Economic Minister Tayeb Nia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe U.S. court\u2019s ruling regarding the Central Bank\u2019s assets in Luxembourg is in violation of all international laws,\u201d Tayeb Nia added.<\/p>\n
Another state-run website wrote in this regard, \u201cThe story continues. The U.S. continues to press on its position and now\u2026 it is begging a court in Luxembourg to implement its own illegal measures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
