"US official urges Turkey to be vigilant over financial dealings with Iranian banks
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - A U.S. Treasury Department official urged Turkey on Monday to be vigilant in its financial dealings with Iran, which Washington accuses of bankrolling terror and seeking nuclear missiles.
Stuart A. Levey, the Treasury's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, called on Turkey to scrutinize actions by three Turkish branches of Iran's
state-owned Bank Mellat.
U.S. officials say Bank Mellat serves Iran's state Atomic Energy Organization, which they allege is attempting to build nuclear weapons."
