Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on Monday, President Hassan Rouhani said that “Americans abandoned their commitments under the nuclear deal without any reason, and began imposing the most severe sanctions on us, assuming that by intensifying pressure, they can return to Iran."
“Their aim is to come back to Tehran and take over our people, but this aim will be impossible for them to achieve,” he stressed, Iran Press reported.
Rouhani maintained that the US sanctions did not in fact target the Iranian government and its nuclear industry; rather, they impacted the normal life of the Iranian people.
The president went on to add that the departments related to legal affairs, including the vice-presidency for legal affairs, the Ministry of Justice and the foreign ministry, have been tasked with filing a lawsuit under the ‘crime against humanity’ against all those in the United States who are involved with imposing sanctions against Iran.
He said the case will be then brought up in the country’s court, and if the court rules in favor of the lawsuit, the government will follow up on it. 101/202
