The head of Iran's central bank is urging the South Korean government to show political will to resolve the issue of Iranian funds frozen in the country due to U.S. sanctions.
In an interview with Bloomberg Tuesday, he added that Seoul is buckling to American pressure.
He pointed out that South Korean banks are not releasing the funds to a special humanitarian trade channel that has been suggested by other global partners.
He also claimed Iran's recent seizure of a South Korean vessel is a separate issue.
