Iran's president says U.S. financial sanctions on Iran's foreign minister are 'childish' and a barrier to diplomacy.
Iran's president lambasted new U.S. sanctions by the Trump administration targeting the country's foreign minister, describing the move on Thursday as"childish" and a barrier to diplomacy.
The European Union expressed its regret at the U.S. sanctions levied on Zarif and said it would continue to keep contact with him regardless of Washington's move. Trump withdrew the United States from Iran's nuclear deal, which Germany, Britain, France, Russia and China are still signatories to, before imposing crippling sanctions on the country, targeting key industries like Iran's oil exports and sending its economy into free fall.
