The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) announced on Sunday that the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has removed Iranian banks from its list of sanctioned financial institutions.
‘Iranian banks will be reconnected to SWIFT without discrimination and the main obstacle on the way of Iranian banks’ international links are going to be removed,’ CBI Public Relations Office said in a press release.
The SWIFT’s move came on Implementation Day of the nuclear Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which marks lifting the sanctions against Iran.
