Iran calls US sanctions on paramilitary force ‘blind vindictiveness’
TEHRAN, Oct 17, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Iran called new US sanctions against its
paramilitary Basij group an act of “blind vindictiveness” on Tuesday.
“America’s new sanctions are a clear insult to international and legal
mechanisms and a result of the American government’s blind vindictiveness
against the Iranian nation,” said foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi.
