MNA � Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi slammed the newly-imposed sanctions against Iran, highlighting that the country will never give in to US� unilateral measures.







�Iran will not surrender with such sanctions and pressures,� he said on Wednesday in an interview with IRIB, refereeing to recent sanctions imposed by US on some Iranian tankers.

�Sanctions that are being announced by American officials are the same as previous ones,� he said, noting that American officials are just re-announcing the sanctions.

He recommended Washington to abandon these �illegal and unilateral� measures.

�America�s unilateral sanctions are more against its own allies and world trade than against Iran,� he said, stressing that such embargos have no international support.

The world should wake up and stand against extra-territorial measures of the United States, he highlighted.

Zarif�s probable visits to neighboring states

Elsewhere in the interview, Mousavi said that due to the COVID-19 outbreak, most of the diplomatic travels have been canceled while meetings are held via video-conferencing. Some of the visits, such as FM Zarif�s trip to Syria, or Foreign Ministry�s officials to Afghanistan, were realized due to their necessity, he added.

�If the conditions are right, Foreign Minister will travel to two neighboring countries for holding talks; the details of visits will be announced after finalization,� he said.
