Khatibzadeh: Washington has no choice but respect Iran and quit sanctions addiction

TEHRAN, Sept. 04 (YPA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said said Saturday that Washington has no choice but to quit its addiction to sanctions and use respectful words and behaviour for Iran.

The move came in a response to the US recent sanctions on four Iranian citizens.

“Unfortunately, current US officials are following in the defeated footsteps of the previous administration,” said Saeed Khatibzadeh on Saturday in response to the US Treasury Department’s action of including four Iranian citizens in the US sanctions list due to imaginary charges.

“Supporters and businessmen of sanctions in the United States have seen their sanctions toolbox empty due to Iran’s maximum resistance, and this time, by resorting to Hollywood scenarios, they are trying to keep alive the sanctions atmosphere,” he added.

“Washington should know that it has no choice but to quit its addiction to sanctions and use appropriate words and respectful behaviour for Tehran,” he stated.

On Friday, The United States has sanctioned four Iranians for allegedly linked to the Ministry of Security.
