Company:notes | "The United States added nine individuals and entities to its Iran sanctions blacklist in a move condemned Wednesday by Tehran as a 'blatant violation' of goodwill amid long-running nuclear talks. The US Treasury named five men from Iran and elsewhere as well as Dubai-based Belfast General Trading for sanctions violations linked to efforts to support the Islamic republic's acquisition of US currency. It said Belfast General had converted more than $250 million of Iranian government-held currencies into dollar notes which were then delivered to Tehran."
