Tehran (ISNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that US decision to impose sanctions on Iran's Supreme Leader and other top officials has permanently closed the path of diplomacy with Trump's desperate administration.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi made the remarks in a tweet posted on his official Twitter account in a reaction to US recent decision to impose sanctions on Iran's Supreme Leader, Foreign Minister and top military chiefs.

"Imposing useless sanctions on Iran's Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) and the commander of Iran's diplomacy (Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif) is the permanent closure of the path of diplomacy with Trump's desperate administration. Trump's administration is destroying the established international mechanisms for maintaining world peace and security" Mousavi tweeted.

In continuation of his hostile acts, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday imposing new sanctions against Iran's Supreme Leader and eight Revolutionary Guard commanders.

The US Treasury also said it will blacklist Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif -- a moderate figure and key architect of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
