Iran Press/ Middle East: In a note in the Lebanese newspaper ‘Al-Bana’ on Friday, Jamal Zahran noted that the US must be tried in the International Criminal Court due to its sanctions against the Iranian nation in the corona outbreak.
He said due to the pandemic nature of the virus and its spread in almost all over the world, the priority of all countries, including Iran, is to fight the epidemic.
The college professor lashed out at the US and European Union over their crimes against Iran, stressing that the US President is accountable for anybody who dies due to the virus in Iran.
He urged all the world's people to press the US and European rulers and all countries participating in sanctions against Iran and its nation and called for an immediate lifting of the sanctions.
Jamal Zahran also praised China and Russia for working to support Iran to help its people, adding that the world would apologize to the Iranian nation, which is facing the Coronavirus outbreak and the ongoing cruel sanctions.
