The Central Bank of Iran has sent a letter to the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ISDS) requesting that South Korea return Iran's blocked assets to South Korean banks, according to KBS World.
According to a State Department official in Seoul, the South Korean government received the letter last September and is working to resolve the disruption of Iran's frozen assets under US sanctions.
