BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 14. The new U.S.
sanctions against Iran, aimed at economic pressure, are part of the
latest measures targeting Iran, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign
Ministry Esmaeil Baghaei said, commenting on the new U.S. sanctions
regarding the increase in trade tariffs on Iran's economic
partners, Trend
reports.
According to him, the U.S. economic sanctions clearly violate
the fundamental rights of Iranian citizens and the fundamental
norms of the UN Charter and international law, including the
foundations of international free trade between states.
Baghaei said that unilateral decisions by the U.S. against
international trade show that the UN and all its relevant bodies,
including the UN Secretary-General, must fulfill their duties to
protect the rule of law at the international level.
"Despite all the pressures, Iran will continue its path towards
the development and progress of the country with all its might,
relying on itself," he noted.
On January 13, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the
imposition of 25% customs duties on all countries cooperating with
Iran.
