Iran urges global resistance against ‘illegal US bullying’
Tehran (KNA) - Iran’s top security official has blasted the US for targeting the national identity and sovereignty of the world countries, calling for global resistance against Washington’s “illegal bullying.”
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani made the remarks in an address to the 10th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in the Russian city of Ufa on Tuesday.
He described the US under President Donald Trump as "the most warmongering country in its history," denouncing it for destabilizing the international security system through unilateralism and extra-territorial sanctions.
"If a wide range of countries decide to stand up to the illegal US blackmail and bullying, we can make the US retreat and adopt a rational and responsible behavior in the international system," he added.
Iran's top security official also complained that the US has been using the monetary and banking system as well as international financial networks as a weapon for aggression against independent countries.
"No title other than economic terrorism suits this US behavior," he said.
