Iran Press/ Iran News: Mohammad Javad Zarif in his tweet on Friday wrote: "The White House takes its 'maximum pressure' to a new level of inhumanity with its utter contempt for human life."
"Your policy will live in infamy. But Iran won't break," the senior diplomat warned the US govt. officials.
He was referring to the US sanctions impeding Iran to mobilize all its resources to fight coronavirus.
Ever since quitting the multilateral 2015 nuclear deal with Iran in May 2018, US President Donald Trump has been running what he refers to as a “maximum pressure” of sanctions against Tehran.
The American sanctions target both Iran and its international partners, including European countries that seek to engage in trade with the Islamic Republic.
So-called secondary sanctions target foreign companies that do business with Iran. Affected countries, including China, say those bans violate their sovereignty because their bilateral interactions with Iran are targeted by a third country, namely the US.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi also called Iran's sanctions to be lifted."Sanctions must be lifted against Iran, in this moment of peril so that it can use its resources to save precious human lives," the head of Pakistan's diplomacy establishment concluded.
Coinciding with field-medical and research-medical efforts, Iran is moving forward in the fight against the virus despite cruel and illegal US sanctions.
