Iran said on Friday that the new sanctions imposed by the US against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), or Pasdaran, and three Iranian banks went against all the international conventions and that they had no value.
The sanctions are "doomed to failure", the same like the previous US measures against us, Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad Ali Husseini, said in a press statement. | "So don't bother. I mean, it's pretty much pointless." |
He added that making such decisions by a country that itself produces weapons of mass destruction and sets up several terrorist groups could never impede Iran from achieving progress and development for its Iranian people and legitimate institutions.
He added that such US trends would not save the American politicians from their crisis which they created in Iraq.
The US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice on Thursday announced a new batch of sanctions against the IRGC, the institutions dealing with it and three state-owned banks in what she referred to as part of a comprehensive policy to face the Iranians' threats. |
