TEHRAN, Aug. 07 (MNA) – US claims that it is concerned about Iranian nation and then impose sanctions which endanger ordinary Iranians, said Mohammad Javad Zarif, adding, “US hypocrisy knows no bounds.”

In a Monday post in his twitter, Iranian Foreign Minister wrote, “Trump Administration wants the world to believe it is concerned about the Iranian people,” adding, “Yet the very first sanctions it reimposed have canceled licenses for sales of 200+ passenger jets under absurd pretexts, endangering ordinary Iranians.”

“US hypocrisy knows no bounds,” he highlights in the end.

US President Donald Trump decided to withdraw from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on May 8, and reimpose sanctions against Iran. The first phase of sanctions which starts today targets activities such as airplane purchases and exports of carpets and pistachios.
