Tehran condemns US for imposing fresh sanctions on Iran’s oil industry
He said that no third party has the right to make up political excuses to prevent or disrupt the trade and economic relations between nations.
The imposition of new sanctions by the United States against Iran's foreign trade is contrary to the principles of the UN charter, especially the principle of respect for national sovereignty and the principle of self-determination, as well as international law overseeing free trade between countries.
He termed the U.S. measure as illegal and illegitimate, adding that the move violates the human rights of the Iranian people and subjects Washington to international responsibility.
Referring to the claims of some U.S. officials that they are willing to engage with Iran, he called the imposition of sanctions against the Iranian nation the greatest evidence of the falsehood of these claims and a clear sign of the hostility of American politicians towards the welfare, development, and happiness of the great people of Iran.
Being well aware of the previous interventionist policies of the United States and the repeated violations of its commitments to Iran, the Iranian nation will continue its path of prosperity, dignity, and independence, he said.
