The demands of the Ministry of Oil and the Central Bank from Babak Zanjani have not yet been received
An official rejected Babak Zanjani's claim that his debts had been settled and his indebtedness ended, saying: "Zanjani has only paid $15 million of the $1.8 billion debt to the Central Bank."

According to Energy Press, after the release and start of economic activities of “Babak Zanjani” claiming to settle debts, the Ministry of Oil and the Central Bank, as the largest creditors of Zanjani, announced that the debt had not been settled. According to the CEO of the National Oil Company, according to the court’s ruling, this person’s property was confiscated in favor of the National Oil Company, but it has not yet covered our claims. We are in full coordination with the Tehran Prosecutor’s Office and announced that we will not give consent until all the claims of the oil company are collected. Up to this point, no changes have occurred in the case and we are still seeking to collect our claim.
After that, the Governor of the Central Bank announced that this person’s nickels are in the treasury of the Central Bank and the agreement is that Zanjani Bank itself will sell these nickels and pay the Central Bank’s claim. The Central Bank has no input into the value of these nickels, we have asked Babak Zanjani to sell the nickels and pay our claim.
These nickels have not been sold to this day, so Zanjani still owes the Central Bank. However, an informed official had previously told ILNA that this asset of Babak Zanjani has no economic value and cannot be used or sold. Therefore, there are uncertainties about the grade of nickel stored in the Central Bank treasury, and it is suspected that since the grade of nickel is low, it is not being sold because nickel is basically a valuable metal and nickel with a grade of 99 percent has customers and buyers.
However, yesterday, a new claim was made on the page attributed to Babak Zanjani on the social network X, and assuming that the page is in the possession of Zanjani himself, he claimed that “my conviction was made in a case that centered on two billion euros of frozen assets of the Ministry of Oil! The same amount that could not be transferred from FIIB Bank due to sanctions and they claimed “does not exist”, but it did exist. Now that the foreign exchange settlement has been made. “
