Iran Press/Iran news: Asked by Iran Press correspondent about a possible US move to block the passage of Iranian gasoline tankers to Venezuela and Mohammad Javad Zarif's letter to the UN Secretary-General and the Foreign Ministry's warning of a strong and immediate response, Rabiee said, "No country is required to comply with the US unilateral sanctions, and we are committed to normal exchanges with Venezuela."
The government spokesman added that the shipment of tankers carrying gasoline was ordered by the Venezuelan government and relied on the free will of countries in conventional international exchanges. We want to make sure that these cargoes are safe from the risk of US piracy, which has been the case in the past.
Rabiee stated, "We expect the international community to show great sensitivity and appropriate response to this innovation in the freedom of international waterways and commute protection. The innovation of the US regime has been unparalleled in violating the rules and regulations of the law."
He added, "The foreign minister gave the necessary warnings and this issue was examined in the government and the Supreme National Security Council. We hope that the United States does not make such a mistake. But in any case, we will consider all the possibilities and we are ready for the worst.
Rabiee noted, "Although it is too early to comment on Iran's response to a possible US piracy if they make such a mistake, we will reserve all the options for ourselves and take appropriate action to protect maritime freedom and increase the unprecedented cost of breaking the law."
The government spokesman said: "We are a country with Venezuela that has had ties to each other for a long time. We sell goods and buy goods from them. These connections have nothing to do with other countries. All of this is within the framework of actions that are considered free by international law, and within the framework of healthy business communication."
Elsewhere, Government Spokesman said, "Reports in the National Task Force for Combating Corona show that we have passed the stage of managing and controlling corona, and our doctors and medical staff have entered the phase of containing corona disease."
"Fortunately, our white zones have increased to 280 zones and we have the highest improvement after China and Switzerland," Ali Rabiee told reporters at his weekly meeting.
Regarding the news about the holy tomb of Jews compatriots in Hamedan, he said: "The building is intact and this is a suspicious act and they want to show that Jewish compatriots in Iran have dangerous and difficult life, while they have been living with the people for centuries."
Rabiee said: "Iran has not been an anti-Semitic society and we are confronting the coercion and child-killing of a party and the ruling intellectual current."
