A source close to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied what the British newspaper "Financial Times" reported. The source said that the aim of these "lies" is to present a false message to public opinion.

The Iranian source told Al Jazeera Net, "It is clear that this news and other similar news are part of the American and British scenario, to cover up the large-scale historical genocide committed by the Zionist regime" The Financial Times reported on Monday that Iran used Lloyds and Santander banks in Britain to secretly transfer money around the world.
