US talks of sanctioning Iran's central bank

None

Top US officials revived talk on Thursday of sanctioning Iran's central bank but made clear they would only seek to do so in a carefully calibrated way so as not to roil oil markets or harm US allies.

 

The position, laid out by senior US State and Treasury Department officials, set up a clash with US senators who favor requiring sanctions on foreign financial institutions that do business with Iran's central bank. (Reuters)
