US Defiant To International Law By Imposing New Sanctions: Iran

Tehran: The US new sanctions against top Iranian officials signify Washington’s “disrespect” for international law, Tehran’s Ambassador to the UN was quoted as saying by Iran’s state TV on Tuesday. “The US decision to impose more sanctions against Iran is another indication that American does not attach any respect to the international laws and the prevailing international opinion,” Majid Takht Ravanchi said in New York.

Ravanchi, however, dismissed the US’ calls for dialogue, saying that “no one in clear mind can have a dialogue with somebody who is threatening you with sanctions”. The US must stop “its economic warfare and terrorism against the Iranian people”, he added. The new sanctions by the US on Monday come in the wake of downing of an American drone by Iran last week.
