'US sanctions on Iran bank psywar' http://english.iribnews.ir/NewsBody.aspx?ID=13862

IRI's Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Shamseddin Hosseini says the US move to impose sanctions on an Iranian bank is part of Washington's propaganda against Tehran. On Tuesday, the US Treasury Department froze the assets of Iran's Bank of Industry and Mine (BIM) for providing financial services to two other financial institutions, which are already under sanctions for their connections with Iran's peaceful nuclear program.“What the Americans say in this regard is a psychological campaign, and the media should not pay attention to it,” Hosseini told said on Wednesday. 

On Monday, the US lawmakers in the House of Representatives unveiled a legislation to intensify economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The new bipartisan measure is aimed at toughening punitive measures against entities that invest in the country's energy sector or provide gasoline to Tehran.  “The Americans say something and try to exaggerate it through media hype,” Hosseini added. The minister pointed to the numerous efforts made by different US administrations to enforce Washington's “hegemonic position” against the Islamic Republic, saying anti-Iran sanctions, particularly resolution 1929, are the continuation of such policies.
