US sanctions target sunken Iranian ship, closed bank
Tehran (KNA) - The sanctions recently re-imposed by the US on Iran have, among other things, targeted a sunken Iranian tanker and a closed bank in a gaffe that has drawn a reaction from Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
"The US designated a bank that was closed six years ago, and a ship that sank last year in a widely televised saga," Zarif tweeted on Monday.
The move took place as part of "a desperate PSYOP (psychological operation) to amplify the list of sanctioned Iranian entities-unintentionally also proving it is targeting ordinary Iranians indiscriminately," he explained.
