Iranian Minister of Finance and Economy Ali Tayyeb-Nia said US efforts to seize Iranian assets in Luxembourg runs counter to international laws, adding Iran would use all of its capabilities to defend its own rights.
A judge’s ruling that has put a freeze on the Central Bank of Iran’s assets in Luxembourg dates back to the time before the onset of the nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers that resulted in the JCPOA, an Iranian deputy foreign minister said.
