Iran reacts to Japan's sanctions
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Sept 5, IRNA -- Any country joining the sanction-imposing states club against Iran would deprive itself from making advantages of the country's high potentials, it was announced here Sunday.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast made the remarks reacting to Japan's latest move to impose new sanctions on Iran including an asset freeze and tighter restrictions on financial transactions.
Speaking to IRNA, the spokesman said such moves would affect the national interests of the very countries that have imposed new sanctions against Iran.
Moreover, such acts would only cause problems for companies of the same countries which have managed to sanction Iran and would create more opportunities for their rival states, Mehman-Parast added.
He stressed that the anti-Iran sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council were all 'illegal and unfair.'
'The sanctions were imposed only because Iranians were interested to use their legitimate right of having peaceful nuclear technology,' said the spokesman, adding that was why Iranians were facing the UNSC's unfair and illegal sanctions under the pressures exerted by the US and certain Western states.'
Mehman-Parast said mounting additional unilateral political pressures on Iran would have no effect on the country but to add to its resistance.
