The state-owned Turkish bank is accused of helping Iran evade US sanctions, which has caused diplomatic tensions between the US and Turkey

The Supreme Court in 2023 threw out a previous decision by the same lower court that had permitted the case to move forward but at that time rejected a key defence mounted by the bank.
