Iran dismisses US sanctions of Iranians over alleged kidnap plot
The Peninsula
Iran on Saturday dismissed new U.S. sanctions on four Iranians over an alleged plot to kidnap an Iranian-American journalist, saying the move reflects Washington’s "addiction to sanctions".
The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday sanctioned the four, saying they were intelligence operatives behind the failed plot. "Supporters and merchants of sanctions, who see their sanctions tool box empty due to Iran’s maximum resistance, are now resorting to Hollywood scenarios to keep the sanctions alive,” the Foreign Ministry said in a tweet, quoting spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh.More Related News
