B-Team promoted 9/11, now leads economic terror on Iran: Zarif
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the "B-Team" once facilitated the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC), and is now pushing the White House to drive up economic terrorism against Iran.
Zarif took to twitter on Wednesday to criticize a new US presidential directive aimed at "modernizing sanctions" against what Washington determines as terrorism.
The new executive order by Donald Trump allows his administration to dish out sanctions against other countries on the grounds of countering "continuing and immediate threat of grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, which include acts of terrorism that threaten the Middle East peace process."
The Iranian FM said in his first tweet that Washington stepped up its economic terror just when the world "minus 3 or 2 panicked cohorts-was breathing a sigh of relief over ouster of" US National Security Adviser John Bolton, who was sacked by Trump on Tuesday.
"Thirst for war-maximum pressure-should go with the warmonger-in-chief," he said, referring to the Trump administration's so-called "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran.
