Tehran (IP) - Iran's government spokesman says the US administration's addiction to imposing sanctions has gotten contagious, transmitting from one administration to the next.

Iran PressIran News: Reacting to the US new sanctions on Iran after the talks on the revival of the JCPOA in Doha, the Spokesman of Iran's Government Ali Bahadori Jahromi said that the US administrations were addicted to sanctioning.

Iran's international nuclear agreement or the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between the country and P5+1 countries (Russia, China, UK, Germany, France, and the US) in 2015, but the US scrapped it on May 18, 2018, re-imposing more sanctions on Iran.  

Bahadori Jahromi said that the sanctions were of no impact on the will of Iran and pointed out that these obstacles do not hinder Iran's progress; "of course, at the same time, Tehran will seriously pursue the lifting of the sanctions."

The spokesman also said the transit of goods through the country has increased in the past years, stressing the use of the north-south corridor's capacities. 

He expressed hope that Iran could set a new record of transit in the current year in comparison to the last year's 1,000 transits of goods.
