The UN Security Council in New York removed names of Iran’s Bank Sepah and Bank Sepah International from the 2231 List after concluding its consideration of the de-listing request.
According to the UN Information Center in Tehran (UNIC), the delisting of the Iranian banks took place one day after the beginning of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and accordingly, the removal of economic sanctions against Iran.
The Implementation Day has officially started on January 16 (Saturday) after a joint statement was read in Vienna, Austria, by Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.
Earlier on Saturday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukyia Amano had released a report confirming that Iran met its commitments upon the JCPOA.
