Iran condemns US sanctions amid COVID-19 pandemic
(VOVWORLD) - Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday condemned the US for insisting on anti-Iran sanctions amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
The US has gone from waging an economic war on Iranians to medical terrorism in Iran, Zarif tweeted. This even exceeds what would be permissible on the battlefield, he said. Zarif urged the international community to disregard US sanction pressures.
Iran's Health Ministry reported that confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Iran now total more than 41,000, with over 2,700 deaths.
