TEHRAN, Nov 20 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, yesterday, refuted the U.S. allegations of interfering in the 2020 U.S. presidential elections, condemning the new U.S. sanctions against six Iranian nationals and an Iranian company, under that “false pretext.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the new U.S. sanctions, in the continuation of the failed policy of former U.S. President Trump’s maximum pressure which are desperate and illegitimate actions,” Khatibzadeh was quoted as saying, by a report on Iran’s Foreign Ministry’s website.
Saying, these allegations are groundless, he added that, the U.S. government is, with a long history of interfering in different countries’ affairs in various forms, to deceive public opinion.
On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against six Iranian nationals and an Iranian cyber-company, for what it called “attempting to influence” the 2020 U.S. presidential elections.– NNN-IRNA
