The true aim of the measures is to cripple Iranβs economic development, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has said
Tehran has condemned the latest US sanctions on its oil shipping network. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has accused Washington of trying to cripple Iranβs economic development and harm its people.
The US Treasury on Wednesday sanctioned more than 100 individuals, companies, and vessels it claimed are part of a βshipping empireβ run by trader Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Washington alleged that Shamkhani and his network have illegally funneled tens of billions of dollars in oil revenue to Tehran.
βThe unilateral and illegal US sanctions on Iran are a criminal act that violates the basic principles and norms of international law and human rights,β Baghaei said in a statement on Thursday. βThe US government must be held accountable for the gross violations resulting from these illegal sanctions.β
