Turkey's state-owned Halkbank has formally requested the United States Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling that permits its prosecution on allegations of assisting Iran in evading U.S. sanctions. The appeal challenges a decision by the New York appellate court that upheld the possibility of criminal proceedings against the bank. Halkbank's legal representatives argue against the lower court's judgment, seeking to block the prosecution related to sanctions violations. This development marks a continuation of the legal dispute over Halkbank's alleged role in circumventing American sanctions imposed on Iran.
