US foreign policy against Iran has been dominated by threats and the use of crippling sanctions against the innocent Iranian people. These horrific sanctions, found unlawful by a ruling fromUnited Nations’ International Court of Justice in October 2018, are preventing Iran from importing vital humanitarian supplies, especially at a time of global crisis as seen with thecoronavirus epidemic.
Any fair-minded person would find that as a result of the sanctions placed on Iran, innocentpeople are dying because medicine imports have been banned for Iran. With more than 2500 victims due to the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the rest of the world can become now aware of the barbarity of Trump administration and economic sanctions inflicted on Iran. Whatever American baseless propaganda fantasies might claim about Iran, there is absolutely no justification for ravaging the Iranian government and hindering its response to the virus, and squeezing the sick innocent citizens and kicking them when they are down.
This dire situation is the result of the shortage of much-needed medication and medical equipment, due to the US sanctions on the country. This latter has devastated the economy and blocked every financial channel available to Iran for buying food and pharmaceuticals. The Trump administration reimposed, in 2018, sweeping penalties on Iran’s economy after exiting the 2015 nuclear deal.
Ironically, Trump dubbed Iran terrorist state; how to explain his choking move against innocent people amid planetary sanitary crisis, claiming hundreds of lives on a daily basis, who are fighting off this pandemic with the minimum of means possible. Is not he the leader of the world’s number one terror state?
A heartless and devious administration showing callous disregard for the lives of innocent Iranians in the midst of this global coronavirus crisis, and even worse; it went far by declaring that crippling economic sanctions will be doubled down on the Islamic Republic, despite the sheer scale of the suffering.
As the death toll from the coronavirus outbreak continues to rise in Iran, one of the world's most impacted countries calls worldwideemerged, urging Trump administration to lift these unilateral sanctions that have direct effect of preventing Iranians from much-needed services. These sanctions are with no result besides hurting ordinary Iranians and demonizing a country rich in culture, a long history and peace-loving people.
Monstrous U.S. must provide immediate relief, as the global pandemic is not a time for settling geopolitical accounts, especially those that have no basis, invented by Washington for the purpose of satisfying their own ambitions, as stated by the Russian Foreign Ministry:As the death toll from the coronavirus outbreak continues to rise in Iran, one of the world's most impacted countries calls worldwideemerged, urging Trump administration to lift these unilateral sanctions that have direct effect of preventing Iranians from much-needed services. These sanctions are with no result besides hurting ordinary Iranians and demonizing a country rich in culture, a long history and peace-loving people.
"Illegal unilateral U.S. sanctions, imposed since May 2018 as part of the 'maximum pressure' campaign, are a powerful obstacle to effective fight against the infection. The reason for the many victims, caused by it, lies not only in the disease itself, but also in the fact that the U.S., purposefully hinder the resistance [to the coronavirus]."
"Millions of Iranian citizens were cut off from the possibility of purchasing necessary medical supplies, no matter how hard Washington tried to distort it. The anti-human policy of the U.S. provokes deep regret, alarm, and serious concern.
Trump’s vile administration, for its part, is being glaringly cruel and extremely unreasonable,turning a blind eye to the mounting death toll and calls pouring from every corner, demanding the removal of the anti-human sanctions that are impeding anti-Covid19 efforts.
To this end and with Iran being the epicenter for the outbreak of this pandemic, an electronic petition has been created, calling on the world community to put pressure on the United States to lift unfair sanctions against Iran as a country that is fighting the coronavirus. This humanitarian move is purely inspired by humanistic feelings far from any political affiliations.
