Trump’s administration announced new sanctions for the transport of Iranian oil.
Iranian President Masoud Pezekijan said on Thursday that US sanctions are deprived of Iranians for basic needs. He promised that his government would find a way to overcome the problems of the country, TASR reports, according to AFP report, according to the AFP report.
“Why are you blocking people’s access to food, water and medicines?” Pezekiján said. “They can’t cause us a way, we’ll find our way,” he added.
Iran has long claimed that US sanctions prevent the supply of basic medical products. According to the US, their sanctions are not focused on medical supplies.
US President Donald Trump, after returning to the White House, restored the “maximum pressure” policy against Iran for concern that Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran constantly denies it.
New US sanctions
This month, Trump’s administration announced new sanctions for the transport of Iranian oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars to China. It is part of his intention to “reduce oil exports from Iran to zero” and “change or abolish the exceptions of sanctions”.
The US President on Monday in an interview indicated that the Iranian development of nuclear weapons could be stopped either by “bombs” or by agreement. “I would like to conclude an agreement with them without bombarding them,” Trump told Fox News.
In response, Pezekijan said that “they (the US) do not want to talk to us, they want us to be humiliated … and we will not be”. “
Iran’s highest leader Ajatollah Ali Khamenei called on Friday to not talk to the United States. In his words, experience shows that interviews with Washington are not “wise, sensible or honest.” Chamennei on Wednesday called for the development of Iranian military capabilities to “defend the country against criminals”.
