Tehran (ISNA) - Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has reacted to some new unilateral sanctions imposed by the US on trade with Iran.
Kanaani said the White House's addiction to sanctions and its use of them as a tool is a symbol of Washington's arrogant system and a change of administrations in the country doesn't change their policy.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman added that the Biden administration officials have repeatedly called Trump's "maximum pressure campaign" as a failed and futile policy but in practice, they have continued the failed policy and even expanded it to the extent that they do not give up these useless and destructive measures even at a time when efforts are underway to resume the talks over a return to the JCPOA.
He underscored that firstly, the Islamic Republic of Iran will give an immediate, firm and decisive response to the White House's insistence on pressing ahead with the imposition of sanctions, and, secondly, it will take all necessary measures to neuter the possible adverse impact of such sanctions on trade and the Iranian economy.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said at the end that the US move to impose the sanctions at a time when the Iranian people have suffered heavy casualties and economic losses due to the floods clearly exposes the hypocritical nature of the US and the insincere condolences offered by its special envoy for Iran.
