The counselor and head of the press office at Iran\\\'s Mission to the United Nations Alireza Miryousefi

New York (IP): The Spokesperson of the Iranian Mission to the United Nations says, "It is a shame that amid Coronavirus pandemic, the US government, instead of thinking about helping and saving the lives of its citizens, is engaged in coercion, economic terrorism, and making false accusations against the Iranian people."

Iran PressAmerica: "These measures will not change Iran's strategic calculations," the counselor and head of the press office at Iran's Mission to the United Nations Alireza Miryousefi added.

The Washington Post reports today (Saturday) that the US on Friday charged two Iranians with violating US sanctions on Iran by orchestrating a scheme to buy an oil tanker later used to illicitly transport oil in coordination with the country’s state-owned oil company.

In response to the Washington Post, Miryousefi said: "In a situation where the US government should focus on helping and saving the lives of its citizens from Corona disease, this country is engaged in coercion, economic terrorism and making false accusations against the Iranian people.

He added, "Such fruitless actions will not change Iran's strategic calculations."
