South Korea Settles Iran's UN Debt of Millions
The government of South Korea has settled Iran's debt to the UN, amounting to $18 million. This was stated on the website of South Korea's Ministry of Planning and Finance.
According to Russia Today, the payment was made using Iranian frozen assets held in South Korean banks.
