Iran’s FM slams US-led sanctions against Tehran

Iran’s foreign minister has slammed the US-led sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its nuclear energy program, Press TV reports.

Speaking in New York on Wednesday, Mohammad Javad Zarif said the United States is “infatuated” and “obsessed” with sanctions and such measures will get nowhere.

The Iranian foreign minister argued that the US Congress wants the anti-Iran sanctions to remain in place amid negotiations aimed at reaching a final nuclear deal between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany.
