Iran says US sanctions rupture ‘path to diplomacy’
TEHRAN, June 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – US sanctions against Iranian leaders
represent the “permanent closure” of the path to diplomacy with Washington,
Iran’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
“Imposing fruitless sanctions against Iran’s supreme leader (Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei) and the commander of Iran’s diplomacy (Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif) is the permanent closure of the path to diplomacy with Trump’s
desperate government,” ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said in a tweet.
