Spokesman condemns West's double standard approach
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, June 10, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast on Thursday denounced the double-standard approach of the West, stressing that such an approach is not correct.
Talking to IRNA, he added that Tehran believes that such approaches cannot be practical.
He underlined that the best way to respect rights of all nations is avoiding discriminatory attitudes and removing the existing injustice at the international arena.
Referring to the imposition of new sanctions on Iran, the spokesman asserted that such moves are "incorrect and illegal". Such moves are aimed at preventing the Iranian nation from pursuance of peaceful nuclear technology, he said.
The Security Council imposed a fourth round of sanctions on Iran on Wednesday.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton’s office said last night that the resolution keeps the door open for continued engagement between world powers and Iran.
“Sanctions are not the endgame or the final solution,” the EU statement said. “We hope that today’s decision will bring Iran to the negotiating table.”
