Go'aanka Maamulka Maaliyadda Turkiga
Maamulka maaliyadda Turkiga (BDDK) wuxuu maanta go'aansaday inuu ka qaado Bank Mellat ee Iran xisaabta ay ku leedahay magaalada Istanbul, iyadoo la sheegay inay tahay khatar ku ah amniga nidaamka maaliyadda dalka. Go'aankaas wuxuu ku salaysan yahay qodob ka mid ah sharciga maaliyadda Turkiga, kaas oo ogolaanaya in xisaabta la qaado haddii ay khatar ku tahay xuquuqda dadka lacag dhexdhexaadinaya ama amniga nidaamka maaliyadda.
Warqadda maamulka maaliyadda Turkiga waxay ku qortay: 'Waa la go'aansaday in la qaado xisaabta Bank Mellat, Xarunta Hore ee Tehran, Xisaabta Dhexe ee Istanbul, Turkiga.' Go'aankaas wuxuu ku bixiyay wargeyska rasmiga ah ee Turkiga, balse ma sheegin sababta rasmiga ah ee ka dambeysay go'aankaas.
Taariikhda Sanadka iyo Xisaabta Bank Mellat
Bank Mellat ayaa muddo sanooyin ah ku jiray sanadka, iyadoo la sheegay in Tehran ay ku dhaqaaqday barnaamijka maaliyadda ee dalka Iran si ay u gaarto hubka nukliyeerka. Sanadkii 2015, waddamada adduunka ayaa go'aansaday inay ka qaadaan sanadka, balse Mareykanku wuxuu 2018-kii ka baxay heshiiskaas, taasoo keentay in sanadka dib loo celiyo.
Sanadkii 2019, Bank Mellat ayaa la xiray sanadka kale, iyadoo la sheegay inay ka mid tahay 25 xisaab oo la xiriira ciidamada IRGC ee Iran. Xisaabtan waxay ku jirtaa sanadka, balse ma sheegin sababta rasmiga ah ee ka dambeysay go'aankaas.
Sanadka Turkiga iyo Xisaabta Golden Global
Mareykanku wuxuu maalmahan ka hor ku xiray xisaabta Golden Global ee Turkiga, iyadoo la sheegay inay ka mid tahay xisaabta IRGC ee Iran. Xisaabtan waxay ku jirtaa sanadka, balse ma sheegin sababta rasmiga ah ee ka dambeysay go'aankaas.
Golden Global ayaa sheegtay inay ka carartay xisaabta, balse ma sheegin sababta rasmiga ah ee ka dambeysay go'aankaas. Xisaabtan waxay ku jirtaa sanadka, balse ma sheegin sababta rasmiga ah ee ka dambeysay go'aankaas.
Turkey's Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) has revoked the operating licence of Iran's Bank Mellat branch in Istanbul, citing risks to depositors and financial stability under domestic banking law.
Licence Revocation Announced
The BDDK published its decision in the Official Gazette on Saturday, stating that the operating licence of Bank Mellat, Head Office in Tehran, Istanbul Turkey Central Branch, has been revoked. The regulator invoked a clause in Turkey's banking law that permits licence withdrawal when a bank's continued operation is deemed to pose a risk to depositors' rights or to the security and stability of the financial system.
The notice did not reference any specific operational failures or cite the United States' sanctions against the Iranian lender. No further explanation was provided in the published ruling, leaving the precise grounds for the decision open to interpretation.
Background on Sanctions and the 2015 Deal
Bank Mellat has faced Western sanctions for years over accusations that Tehran pursued a nuclear weapon under the cover of a civil nuclear programme. Those sanctions were lifted as part of a landmark 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, but the United States unilaterally pulled out of the agreement in May 2018, reimposing economic sanctions on the country.
Further US and Gulf sanctions were imposed on Bank Mellat in 2019 after it was named as one of 25 entities linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Turkish regulator's decision appears to be the latest in a series of measures targeting the bank's international operations.
Parallel US Action Against Turkish Bank
Earlier this month, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a small Turkish investment bank and two subsidiaries over alleged ties to Iran. The Treasury accused Golden Global Yatirim Bankasi Anonim Sirketi (Golden Global Bank) of facilitating tens of millions of dollars' worth of transactions for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force and providing the Iranian government with banking access to move its funds internationally.
Golden Global Bank has denied the accusations. The timing of the Turkish licence revocation alongside the US sanctions on a domestic Turkish bank raises questions about the broader geopolitical dynamics affecting financial institutions in the region.
