GENEVA:
US sanctions against Iran are a “reckless addiction” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a tweet on Sunday.
“The US’ approach to sanctions betrays a pathological and reckless addiction — a condition that renders no bounds or boundary to what the US may or may not do,” Zarif wrote. “And this addictive behaviour affects friends and foes alike, unless collectively pushed back.”
