The US Treasury put sanctions on Turkey's Golden Global Yatirim Bank on Friday.

This action is to stop an important money source for Iran's government.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said this action is part of an 'economic expulsion operation.'

The U.S. said this bank helped move Iran's oil money from China to Turkey. It also helped change the money into cash or gold.

The U.S. also said the bank gave services on purpose to an Iranian money group. That group was already punished in 2022.

Secretary Bessent warned that money groups dealing with Iran will be punished.

But so far, America has tried to pressure companies that deal with Iran. It has not brought big results.

The Trump administration does not want to punish big trading partners like China or India.

Last week, America limited the work of an Egyptian bank in the UAE. But it did not formally punish the bank.

This punishment came the day after Turkey's state bank, Halkbank, agreed with the US Justice Department about breaking Iran-related rules. The bank agreed about breaking rules about Iran.

Halkbank leaders were accused of moving about 20 billion dollars of Iranian oil money illegally.

This case made problems in the relationship between the US and Turkey.
