Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani called cruel sanctions the biggest systematic project of violating human rights, which is managed by the US and implemented by many Western states.
Bagheri Kani was speaking at a meeting with ambassadors and representatives of other countries to Tehran, which was held at the Foreign Ministry building on Wednesday and aimed to clarify recent developments in Iran.
The diplomat referred to unilateral coercive measures imposed by the US against Iran, including sanctions on medicine imports, which he said have resulted in the death of many people, among them children suffering from chronic diseases.
On the negotiations aimed at reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and removing sanctions against the country, Bagheri Kani said that Iran has in the past few days sent a number of initiatives to the EU coordinator of the talks in order for the negotiations to reach a conclusion.
Meanwhile, he said, an Iranian technical team will go to Vienna over the next days for talks with the UN nuclear watchdog over safeguards issues raised by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
