Iran’s central bank chief Abdolnasser Hemmati has taken a jibe at the US Treasury Department, saying the country’s money is in its hands despite Washington’s efforts, according to the Fars news agency.

“Americans keep announcing, ‘We’ve shut down such-and-such trust or crypto exchange,’ but these claims are just propaganda fodder for the Americans,” he is quoted as saying. “The funds we’ve transferred are in our own hands, and we’re actively using them.”
