Commenting on the latest U.S. sanctions targeting organizations associated with Iran, including in China and the UAE, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said: “We will respond to new U.S. sanctions urgently, decisively and decisively.”

And she pointed out, “We will take the necessary steps to neutralize the potential impact of US sanctions on our economy,” noting that “the administration of US President Joe Biden is intensifying its policy of maximum pressure on us, despite official recognition of its futility and failure,” stressing that “Washington does not stop its destructive and fruitless measures” against us, despite attempts to resume nuclear negotiations.

And earlier today, the US Treasury Department confirmed in a statement the inclusion of 6 entities on Iran’s sanctions list, announcing sanctions on entities in the UAE, Singapore and China associated with Iran. The US State Department said: “We will continue to impose sanctions on Iran until it is ready to return to the nuclear deal.”
