In reaction to the US and UK sanctions on Iran, Bagherpour wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday that “Europe is desperately showing its int'l performance through noxious moves incl by copy/paste of US/UK list of sanctions, while there are better ways for role-playing, away from miscalculation”.
“We legally react on the basis of countermeasure. Hope wisdom would prevail adventurism,” he added.
Earlier, the Iranian Foreign Ministry in a statement noted that the EU and UK's latest decision to impose and toughen arbitrary sanctions against Iran run contrary to the fundamental principles of international law which are enshrined in the UN Charter.
In a reciprocal reaction, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has announced sanctions against a number of individuals and legal entities in the European Union and in the United Kingdom in what it says is a countermeasure measure against their acts of interference in Iran's affairs.
