MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th September, 2018) Tehran will continue fighting unlawful sanctions imposed by the United States and pursue its efforts aimed at putting an end to Washington's destabilizing actions, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.
"Iran will keep working with its partners to create new environment in which self-respecting nations can pursue own interests & int'l obligations. We will continue to work to offset unlawful US sanctions & irrevocably eliminate destabilizing phenomenon of US extraterritorial laws," Zarif wrote on Twitter account late on Wednesday.
He also noted Washington's commitment to destabilizing the international system.
"It is unfortunate to see a US Administration with destructive unilateralism in its DNA abuse a multilateral forum to attack multilateralism. The US is so devoid of credibility it's been forced to hide behind procedure in order to avoid facing Iran at the Security Council," Zarif added.
During a meeting of the UN Security Council on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said that the United States would introduce even tougher sanctions against Iran.
The participants of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini confirmed on Monday that Iran was fully respecting the deal. Mogherini announced that the European Union would set up a special mechanism that would allow EU companies to continue trade with Tehran despite US sanctions.
