Iran Condemns New US Sanctions Ahead of Nuclear Talks
Iran’s foreign ministry expressed strong condemnation of the recent U.S. sanctions targeting its oil network, labeling the move as an example of Washington’s “hostile approach” just before the anticipated third round of nuclear negotiations. In a statement from foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, the sanctions are portrayed as a glaring inconsistency with the U.S. call for dialogue and negotiation, underscoring a lack of goodwill from America as they approach these pivotal talks.
Baqaei’s remarks reflect growing frustration in Tehran, as the Iranian government perceives the sanctions as detrimental to both the negotiating process and the welfare of its populace. The timing of these sanctions, just days before the planned discussions, raises questions about the sincerity of the U.S. commitment to finding a diplomatic resolution.
