Iran Press/ Iran news: Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remark along with addressing other issues while holding a press conference on Monday, on the occasion of the National Day of Journalists.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told reporters on Monday that Iran has never put aside diplomacy and negotiation, and from the beginning of taking power, Raisi's administration made its efforts to lift the unilateral US sanctions on Iran through diplomacy.
Amir-Abdullahian said the efforts were made in two directions; one followed negotiation on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to lift sanctions within the framework of the internationally signed agreement, and the other adopted measures to neutralize the very sanctions.
With regard to the exchange of prisoners between the US and Iran, and the release of the blocked money abroad, he said in the agreement signed between the two countries through the third party, two separate minutes were recorded.
The Iranian FM pointed to the US propagandistic claim that Iran bothers its neighbor Iraq for money and pointed out: "The relations between Tehran and Baghdad are strategic relations; when we export electricity and gas to the neighboring country and the funds are deposited into an account, it is our natural right to have access to those funds."
The US puts pressure on the countries where the Iranian assets are deposited to block it otherwise, they will be punished.
