A report by an Iranian media website says China has agreed to finance $20
billion in development projects in Iran using oil money not transferred to
the Islamic Republic because of international sanctions.
The tasnimnews website published a report Saturday quoting prominent
lawmaker Hasan Sobhaninia saying the deal was reached during talks between
Iran's parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani and Chinese leaders. Larijani
visited China this week and Sobhaninia accompanied the speaker.
Iran government spokesman Mohammad Bagher Nowbakht said last week that some
$22 billion dollars of Iranian oil money is stuck in China because of
sanctions.
The U.S. and its allies have imposed oil and banking sanctions against Iran
over its disputed nuclear program. Iran frequently uses barter arrangements
because of the sanctions.
China is Iran's top crude oil importer. | w****n
