8:18 pm
foreign ministry spokesman told you and why the south koreans are holding on to this iranian money. but all this goes back to before we went before the united states pulled out that 2015 nuclear deal no nuclear deal was supposed to curb iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief not the donald trump administration that don't trump pulled the u.s. out of the deal in 2018 and impose sanctions against iran but before that happened several. countries were still trading with iran south korea was one of them and they purchased iranian oil to the tune of around $7000000000.00 but there's one problem they haven't paid now iran says that's because in the u.s. pressure specifically saying that given to us boiling now we spoke to foreign ministry spokesman abbas mousavi and he said that the reasoning given by south korea as to why they are holding onto those funds is unacceptable to iran. we will explore all legal and diplomatic avenues to bring this money back to the country
8:19 pm
it's held illegally in south korean banks and their reasoning is totally illegal and irrational the us is putting pressure on them that's not related to us it's between them and the us our nation wants the money it earned through illegal trade back we've had a historic and traditional relationship with south korea but these actions have negative impacts on this relationship. now iran is fighting the pandemic they need that money to buy medical equipment and supplies but they also wanted to regulate their economy now south korea did send medical equipment and testing kits to iran and iran says that's not aid because south korea deducted that 1000000 or so dollars from money owed to iran now it's important to note that these u.s. sanctions are unique that true they are not from the united nations or the security council a fact that abbas mousavi was very keen to point out to us but countries and companies do face the threat of the u.s. imposing sanctions or fines against them for dealing with iran but the message from
8:20 pm
