Iran’s Foreign Ministry says it has imposed sanctions on the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies and its CEO—saying the organization has promoted sanctions and “economic terrorism” against Iran, News.am reported citing RFE/RL.
Reports on Saturday by Iranian media quoted a statement by Iran’s Foreign Ministry as saying the foundation and its CEO Mark Dubowitz had “intentionally” damaged Iran’s vital interests by “spreading lies” and campaigning against Iran.
The statement said the sanctions could be followed by judiciary actions against the foundation, Dubowitz, and Iranian colleagues.
