AhlulBayt News Agency: Iran’s top banker has confirmed that the country’s banking system remained stable and fully operational throughout the 12-day war launched by the Israeli regime.
Mohammad Reza Farzin, governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), stated on Tuesday that there was no disruption to banking services during the conflict, despite cyber and physical threats.
He revealed that two banks, including Bank Sepah—which handles military payrolls—were targeted in cyberattacks early in the war, but CBI teams swiftly restored their debit card systems.
Farzin added that both private and state-owned banks successfully processed salary payments without delay during the hostilities.
He also noted that the CBI increased funding for subsidized imports by $2 billion during the war to boost national food reserves.
Additionally, the central bank allocated new resources to support a government program offering major food items at discounted prices for households.
The Israeli regime began its unprovoked aggression on June 13, targeting Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, including women and children.
Despite widespread attacks on infrastructure, Iranian officials say daily life and essential services, including banking, remained largely unaffected.
