Iranian bank wins ruling against UK sanctions
None
Bank Mellat of Iran on Wednesday won a preliminary court ruling against sanctions imposed by the British government.
The government has accused the privately owned bank of providing financial services to companies involved in Iran's nuclear and missile programs. The Treasury acted in October to forbid any U.K. financial companies from doing business with the bank. High Court Justice John Mitting agreed with the bank's argument that it was entitled to information about allegations against it. (AP)
