Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi

Foreign Ministry Spokesman has said new US sanctions against Iran are a sign of Washington's weakness and dysfunctional diplomacy.

Iran Press/Iran news: Referring to the United States’ new sanctions targeting the Iranian construction sector, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said: "Unfortunately, the US state department is incapable of engaging in sound diplomacy and undertaking sensible diplomatic initiatives and relies solely on the force, sanctions and economic terrorism."

"For the US, it is better to end its delusions, return to JCPOA and honor its commitments under the landmark nuclear accord ( JCPOA ), instead of slapping sanctions which will get them nowhere," Mousavi said according to Iran Press.

The United States said on Thursday it had imposed fresh sanctions on the Iranian construction sector and trade in four materials used in its military or nuclear programs, even as it waived sanctions to let foreign firms continue non-proliferation work in Iran. 101/211/207
