Iran slams the US for latest sanctions
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman slammed the United States for imposing new sanctions against a number of Iranian officials and entities over human rights allegations.
“Even amid #ViennaTalks, US cannot stop imposing sanctions against Iran. Washington fails to understand that 'maximum failure' & a diplomatic breakthrough are mutually exclusive. Doubling down on sanctions won't create leverage—and is anything but seriousness & goodwill,” tweeted Saeed Khatibzadeh.
