Aug 28 — Iran's foreign ministry said the U.S. has launched a new round of
sanctions it called "economic terrorism," equating the measures to state
terrorism. The statement accused Washington of abusing the dollar as a tool,
coercing other states to accept its interventionist, law-violating Iran policy
and infringing sovereign rights and UN members' rights. It said, given their
nature and consequences, the sanctions seriously violate the UN Charter and are
a continuation of U.S. and Israeli aggression over the past 18 months that
threatens regional and international peace and security.
