As Iran continues to battle the spread of the novel coronavirus, government officials are warning about the toll sanctions are taking and asking other countries to either ignore US sanctions or work with Iran to help combat the virus.
Leading the way on the campaign to demonstrate the effects of US sanctions on Iran has been Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. In his latest Telegram post March 30, Zarif wrote, “These days the world is combatting a common challenge. In order for the world to return to life as previously, we must believe that the entire planet is a battlefield and anywhere we fail the whole world fails.”
