Thomas Graf told The Associated Press on Thursday that 75 Iranian organizations or companies and 41 individuals are covered by the sanctions.
He says none of the frozen assets belong to the 40 Iranian entities and one individual who were added to the sanctions list by the UN Security Council in June.
Swiss banks have repeatedly been accused of allowing firms and individuals close to the Iranian government to conduct business through Swiss accounts.
