| Subject: Sadistic sanctions & economic terrorism: Iran blasts US during IAEA confrontation Wed Jul 10, 2019 8:48 pm | |
| Iran faces "economic terrorism" from the United States with its "sadistic" sanctions, a Tehran official said on Wednesday. Kazem Gharib Abadi, Iranian ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), made the comments in Vienna during an emergency meeting called by the US after Tehran breached the landmark 2015 nuclear deal this week. "The United States has imposed economic terrorism against some states, including through imposition of sanctions and extraterritorial application of them," Gharib Abadi said at the meeting of the UN's nuclear watchdog. "The sadistic tendency of the United States to use illegal, unilateral sanctions as an instrument to coerce sovereign states and private entities should come to an end," he said.
'Outlaw behaviour'The IAEA confirmed this week that Iran exceeded the stockpile of enriched uranium permitted under the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Iran has said it will disregard certain limits under JCPOA as long as the remaining parties to the deal - in particular, the UK, France and Germany - do not do more to mitigate the effect of the crippling US sanctions. Gharib Abadi said the current impasse was the result of Washington's "outlaw behaviour".
