On the 20th Iran's foreign ministry condemned a new round of US economic and
trade sanctions, saying the measures violate international law and the basic
principles of the UN Charter and harm Iran's sovereignty and citizens' rights.
The ministry said continued use of economic sanctions and pressure will not
achieve US objectives and will only deepen confrontation. It warned Iran will
continue to take measures to safeguard national security and its interests and
to respond to US economic and political pressure.
