Zarif, Guterres discuss US sanctions on Iran on a phone call
On a phone call, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres discussed the US unilateral sanctions imposed on Iran.
Zarif and Guterres also discussed the most recent developments in Yemen.
Washington imposed sanctions on Iran after Trump pulled the U.S. out of an agreement between the U.S., the members of the United Nations Security Council and Iran to limit the country’s nuclear activities in exchange for easing sanctions on Iran.
According to Human Rights Watch, the Trump administration’s broad sanctions on Iran have drastically constrained the ability of the country to finance humanitarian imports, including medicines, causing serious hardships for ordinary Iranians and threatening their right to health.
The US sanctions has also impeded Iran’s fight against the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
Iran has so far reported 70,029 confirmed coronavirus cases, with 4,357 deaths.
