US sanctions affect Iran relief efforts

Unprecedented rain and snowfall have caused flooding and disruptions in most parts of Iran. Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has lashed out at the US for waging economic terrorism against the country, saying US-imposed restrictive measures are troubling the relief efforts targeting flood-stricken people across the country. Zarif says rescue equipment like relief choppers have been blocked because of US sanctions. Zarif also reminded that the economic restrictions, which Washington is deploying against Tehran under the banner of maximum pressure, flout UNSC Resolution 2231 and International Court of justice ruling.
