Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi has denounced the latest case of US's economic terrorism against Russia, Mehr News reports.
"The Americans' insanity in extreme use of economic terrorism and unlawful and unilateral punishments against countries that do not think and behave like them is a failed trick that has lost its efficiency and will definitely have no result for that country," Mousavi said Friday according to the Foreign Ministry website.
Also, in a Friday tweet, Foreign Minister Zarif condemned the US's 'serial bouts of economic terrorism', noting that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's "paranoia about 'Great Powers' is becoming a true phobia. Wake up: The era of "Great Powers" is long past."
