"Sajjadi said on Friday that the shutdown had been ordered at short notice by VTB24, the retail banking arm of Russia's second-largest bank VTB, and that his own credit card had been blocked. The closure of the embassy staff's personal accounts, confirmed by VTB24, comes as Washington steps up efforts to block Iran's ability to conduct financial transactions and force it to the negotiating table over its nuclear programme. In a blog post headlined "VTB24 surrenders to the mercy of the USA" Sajjadi wrote that the bank had told embassy staff on Thursday to close their accounts by the end of the working day on Friday, or risk losing their deposits... A spokesman for VTB24, one of the largest retail banks in Russia, said it had informed the embassy in good time of its decision, which was made for business reasons."

VTB Bank is therefore an entity or body supporting, materially or financially, or benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine as well as a legal person, entity or body involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. The VTB Bank is a systemically important financial institution for the Government of the Russian Federation, which in turn is a major shareholder of VTB Bank. The bank itself has close ties to Russian intelligence, and its CEO was appointed by President Vladimir Putin and has defended his actions including the annexation of the Crimean peninsula. As one of Russia’s leading financial institutions, largely owned by the Government of the Russian Federation, VTB furthermore generates high revenue for the Government of the Russian Federation. In June 2022, VTB expressed its intention to recover its former subsidiary, RNCB Bank (main bank in Crimea with 70 % of customers on the peninsula), which was nationalised following the 2014 sanctions. In October 2022, President Putin signed a law authorising the government to transfer 100 % of RNCB shares to VTB. In November 2022, the General Director of VTB announced the completion of the transfer of RNBC to VTB in the first quarter of 2023. VTB would thus become the leading bank in Crimea.
