Iranian officials on Monday announced the transfer by the South African government, which released the gold bullion as part of the sanctions relief agreed on in the November 2013 interim deal reached between world powers and Iran over the latter’s controversial nuclear program.

Indicating the failure of sanctions, Iran’s GDP grew 3% in 2014.”
