Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has tweeted dozens of Iranian scientific societies’ letter to the United Nations general secretary that they’d condemned US sanctions on the country, urging the international body to take action.
“66 Scientific Societies for Medical Sciences in Iran call
on international community to condemn US sanctions on Iran”, Zarif tweeted on
Wednesday evening, attaching the screenshot of the letter that’s been
addressed to António Guterres, the UN General Secretary, IRNA reported.
The two-paged letter, signed by 66 medical societies of Iran, dated February
23, as seen in the post.
“66 Scientific Societies for Medical Sciences in Iran call on international
community to strongly resist the targeting of medical needs and humanitarian
aid and thwart targeting of research and scientific advancement.”
The Iranian foreign minister’s tweet is a reminder to the international
community that the US sanctions on banking ties with Iran have highly impeded
the flow of vital medicine and medical devices to the country despite
Washington’s claims that humanitarian commodities have not been sanctioned.
