Avoiding Sanctions on Dollar Transactions
Iranians are buying Turkish gold bullion in record numbers. The Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan told parliament on Friday
that Iran is buying gold with Turkish Lira that has been deposited into their
accounts in exchange for Turkey’s purchase of Iranian natural gas.
“As Iran could not transfer the payment to [its own banks] in foreign exchange, the country buys gold with Turkish lira, and then takes the gold to its country. I do not know how Iran transports the gold, but this is the root of the matter. The gold export to Iran in reality becomes payment for the natural gas we buy from Iran,” Babacan said.

How cozy. Now where is the $18 Billion in gold and dollar notes that the Islamic regime transported by truck to Turkey and confiscated by the Turks during the so called elections of 2009?
Iran didn't need to transport those 18 billions, since they buy gold now; like confirmed by the Turkish deputy PM.
Where have you gotten that 18 billion's information from?

That $18 Billion in Gold and Dollar notes was in an Iranian truck which crossed the Turkish border and was confiscated by Turkish customs.
And it was not televised on "L.A TV" but on the main Turkish news channel.
So the "bullshit" is fanning from your end.
