The United States Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on Thursday against the state-owned Banco Internacional de Comercio de Cuba (BICSA). The U.S. government justified the measure by accusing the financial institution of conducting operations with an Iranian bank.
In response, the Cuban government rejected the sanctions, describing the bank's operations as "absolutely legitimate." Havana characterized the U.S. action as part of a persistent effort to punish the island, labeling the policy as a "criminal" endeavor.
