Certain Iranian media outlets earlier claimed that European banks had set preconditions for resuming banking ties with Iran.
“It is nonsensical to talk about guarantees in banking transactions,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said on whether European banks had spoken of any guarantee for resuming ties with Iranian partners.
“This has nothing to do with Iran… The two sides try to contact each other and work together. If the cooperation is economically suitable, they will pursue it, and if not, they won’t,” he told.
“In these fields, only the economic components are considered. Any request for such guarantees is nonsense.”
