Zarif: US waging ‘economic terrorism’ against Iran
2019-04-02
[PRESSTV] Iran’s foreign minister says the US is waging "economic terrorism" against the Islamic Theocratic Republic by employing restrictive measures that are troubling the relief efforts targeting flood-stricken people across the country.

Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted the remarks on Monday, saying the sanctions are "impeding aid efforts by Iranian Red Islamic Thingy to all communities devastated by unprecedented floods. Blocked equipment includes relief choppers."

"This isn't just economic warfare; it's economic TERRORISM," he added.

left a multi-lateral nuclear deal with Iran in 2017. It later returned the sanctions that had been lifted under the accord.

Zarif also reminded that the economic restrictions, which Washington is deploying against Tehran under the banner of "maximum pressure" is "flouting UNSC Res 2231 & ICJ ruling."

The nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, has the UK, La Belle France, Russia, China, and Germany as its other signatories. It was ratified in the form of the United Nations

#1  Funny that, not wanting to sell rope to those who want to destroy us. If America's greedy leaders would only get a clue about China.
