US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, in a tweet on Saturday claimed America's unilateral sanctions against Iran, will not target the Iranian people.

America: According to Iran Press, Mike Pompeo made the claim despite the fact that European negotiators have not managed to convince the Americans not to include humanitarian items such as food and medicines in their sanctions. It should be noted that America's sanctions have never been authorised by the United Nations, and so they are illegal under international law.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a Twitter message on Saturday night described Iran's actions in the region as counterproductive and claimed that Washington by imposing tough sanctions, is trying to stop these activities.

Pompeo's claim that Iranian people are not targeted by sanctions has been made despite a Guardian newspaper report on Sunday that European governments have not succeeded in persuading Washington to exempt humanitarian goods, such as foodstuffs and medicines, from the sanctions.

US president "Donald Trump" announced on 8 May the withdrawal of Washington from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (known as the Iran nuclear deal) and the re-imposition of sanctions against Tehran.
