Laut der Meldung, Hemati mentioned that the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control had approved an Iranian bank to transfer money to a Swiss bank to pay for the vaccine.

„They imposed sanctions on all our banks, but due to the pressure of public opinion from the international community, they opened the door to this transaction.“ The central bank governor said in an interview.

Hemati also said that Iran will pay approximately US$244 million for the first import of 16.8 million doses of vaccine from the WHO-led Covax global new crown vaccine program.
