Tehran slams Washington following sanctions on Iranians
- 3 years ago
Tehran has lashed out at Washington for imposing sanctions on four Iranian nationals.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the current US administration is, unfortunately, pursuing the failed policy of its predecessor. He said US officials are resorting to Hollywood-style scenarios to maintain their sanctions-driven existence. His remarks came after Washington blacklisted four Iranian intelligence operatives for an alleged kidnapping conspiracy on US soil. The US Treasury Department said the sanctions target all property of the four individuals in the United States or in US control and prohibit all transactions with them. They were alleged to be hatching a plot to abduct an anti-Tehran figure in July.
