Tehran-Sana
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi stressed that the US ban against Iran is a prominent example of crimes against humanity and economic terrorism.
"The United States has always claimed that humanitarian needs are not within the embargo, but it has always blocked the way for the export of medicines and food to Iran ... In practice, its allegations were only on paper," Moussaoui was quoted by the Iranian Fars News Agency as saying at a press conference in Tabriz today.
He added, "When the United States imposed the ban on the Central Bank of Iran so that it could not initiate the payment of medicines and food, this is from Iran's perspective, economic terrorism and a crime against humanity because it constitutes a violation of all human rights and international laws while the Americans launch slogans of support for the Iranian people." .
In another context, Mousavi referred to the proposal put forward by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a tweet on his social networking site Twitter after the release of the Iranian detainee in the world Masoud Soleimani, which includes the exchange of prisoners in the framework of a package and said, "We are now ready to exchange all of our hostages held in America With their prisoners in Iran as part of a package ... meaning that the ball is now in America’s court. ”
On President Hassan Rouhani's upcoming visit to Japan, Moussaoui said, "We have a lot of dealings with Japan, and it was previously a steadfast business partner for us, but it was suspended because of American pressure ... Of course, their behavior is unacceptable to us."
