TEHRAN (FNA)- Spokesman of Iran’s Guardian Council Abass Ali Kadkhodayee blasted the US for continued worn-out policy of sanctions against the country, stressing that pressures and boycotts will fail to cut the Iranian nation’s resistance.
“The US has again used the worn-out weapon of sanctions against the interior minister and a number of Law Enforcement Police commanders of Iran,” Kadkhodayee wrote on his twitter page on Wednesday night.
“Trump should know that such sanctions, like embargos against a number of Guardian Council members, will not disturb the people’s serious will to fight against the US hostile policies, and the resistance will continue,” he added.
His remarks came after the US Treasury Department announced on Wednesday a fresh round of sanctions against a number of Iranian authorities, including the Interior Minister Rahmani Fazli and Police Chief Brigadier General Hossein Ashtari.
The new sanctions affect the Great Tehran Penitentiary in Iran's capital, the Law Enforcement Forces Cooperative Foundation, and Qarchak Prison, also situated in Tehran. All three entities are targeted with secondary Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA)-related restrictions.
The sanctions are also imposed on seven other officials in the Iranian Police.
The anti-Iranian measure comes as the international community has called on the US to remove or ease sanctions against Iran amid the coronavirus epidemic.
