US blackmailing becoming pattern: Zarif

Iran's Foreign Minister reacted to the US blackmail to the Indian captain of 'Adrian Darya 1' and said that US blackmail is turning to a pattern.

Iran Press/Iran newsMohammad Javad Zarif wrote in his tweeter on Wednesday that the blackmail was similar to the US' sanctioning him due to his rejecting White House invitation.

Earlier Zarif had told to reporters that he rejected the suggestion of a Republican Senator, Rand Paul to meet the US President Trump, but he was said that he will be sanctioned two weeks later unless he accepts the suggestion, Iran Press reported.

The US Treasury Department announced in August that it put the Iranian Foreign Minister's name in that blacklist of sanctions against Iran.
