VTB Bank sanctioned by US for allegedly aiding Iran's sanctions evasion

VTB Bank US sanctions Iran sanctions evasion Operation Economic Outcast Scott Bessent

The US Treasury Department has imposed new sanctions on VTB Bank, Russia’s second-largest financial institution, as part of ‘Operation Economic Outcast.’ The administration accuses the bank of facilitating the evasion of US sanctions by the Iranian regime.

According to the Treasury and State Departments, VTB Bank established correspondent relationships with sanctioned Iranian financial institutions, opened physical branches in Iran, and worked to move billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets. The bank also reportedly developed a payment system using Iranian rials and Russian rubles to facilitate bilateral trade.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the US will continue to target entities providing material, technological, or financial support to the Iranian regime. The US has issued a stern warning to foreign financial institutions, stating that continued business with VTB Bank carries an increased risk of secondary sanctions and potential loss of access to the US financial system.
