Tehran-Sana

The Iranian government confirmed that the American threats to Iranian oil tankers heading to Venezuela are in stark contrast to international laws and decisions, calling on the international community to take the appropriate position regarding these American measures that threaten navigation in international waterways.

Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabei said in a press conference today that any country is not obligated to implement the US unilateral embargo, and that Iran will commit to carrying out regular exchanges with Venezuela, explaining that sending gasoline to Venezuela came at the request of its government within the framework of the usual trade exchange followed by international laws.

Rabiei pointed to the State Department's warnings and its assertion to take appropriate steps to respond to the American threats and actions, and said: "We will take appropriate measures against the American actions."

In a letter addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, in response to the provocations of the United States against Iranian oil tankers heading to Venezuela, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that "American illegal and serious threats are a form of piracy and a great threat to international peace and security and the states must United to give up their arrogance. ”

In another context, Rabiei said that Iran ranks third in the world after China and Switzerland in the field of healing people with corona and treating afflicted with this disease, explaining that the number of white cities without corona in the country rose to 280 cities.

Rabiei considered that Iran has passed the stage of controlling the spread of the Corona virus and that the Ministry of Health and all departments concerned with corona control have now entered the stage of eliminating the disease and this stage requires continued high-level cooperation in the application of health instructions.

Rabiei pointed out that the smart spacing mechanism between people was successful and contributed to the successful resumption of economic activities by observing health instructions by workers in the productive and service sectors.
