US Uses Dollar to Bully Other Countries

• PressTV Published on Nov 16, 2018
  Iran’s Deputy foreign minister says the US sanctions against Tehran primarily undermine Europe’s sovereignty, security and credibility, rather than target the Iranian economy. Seyyed Abbas Araqchi, who is in Madrid to meet high-ranking Spanish officials, said Tehran is waiting to see how Europe defends its sovereignty against U-S pressures. He stressed that the US uses its economic power and the dollar to impose its will on other countries. Araqchi said European companies seem to be taking US orders more seriously than their own governments’. The Iranian diplomat noted that Washington’s decision to re-impose sanctions on Iran is against UN Security Council Resolution 22-31 and a recent verdict by the International Criminal Court.
