Summary
Sept. 4 sanctions hit Türkiye-based Golden Global Bank and two subsidiaries, targeting what the US Treasury said was a network moving money for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards-Quds Force.
Treasury said the bank facilitated tens of millions of dollars in transactions and helped move Iranian funds internationally, tying the action to financing for a US-designated militant arm.
Rick Scott amplified the move on Monday, calling Turkey “not our friend” and saying anyone linked to Iran’s regime should be held accountable for funding terrorists killing US service members.
The sanctions add pressure on a NATO ally while underscoring Washington’s focus on cutting off overseas financial channels used by Iran’s Quds Force.
