Iran condemns US sanctions against Zarif in letter to UN chief
Tehran (KNA) - Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nation Majid Takht-e Ravanchi has censured the administration of US President Donald Trump over imposing sanctions on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, terming the measure as gross violation of international regulations.
Takht-e Ravanchi, in a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday, stated that the sanctions point to "yet another unlawful and undiplomatic move" by US officials against Iran.
"Infatuated with rogue, unreasonable conducts at the international level, this well signifies that the US regime despises diplomacy, which is one of the greatest achievements of humanity to preserve and uphold peace and security among nations. It reveals the deeply-rooted hypocrisy of the United States' authorities in their different but paradoxical claims," the letter read.
