Iran urges the US to cease economic pressures against the Islamic republic

TIL Desk/World/Tehran/ The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called for a cessation of the US economic pressures against the Islamic Republic.

The US administration “must make up for its past measures and stop its economic war against the Islamic Republic”, Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Sunday.

“We are waiting for practical steps” to be taken by the US, said Khatibzadeh, adding that Washington should commit its international obligations.

It was the US that “violated” its obligations pertaining to Iran’s nuclear deal, he said.

The US should also compensate for losses that Tehran has suffered due to Washington’s economic pressures, the spokesman added.
