Iran Condemns US Sanctions Over Bid to Meddle in 2020 Vote
Iran has condemned US sanctions against several Iranians and one Iranian group for trying to influence the 2020 US presidential election.
“Iran condemns these new US sanctions as a continuation of the failed policy of Trump’s maximum pressure that are desperate and illegitimate,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Twitter on Friday, referring to former President Donald Trump.
“Such accusations addressed by the US government, who itself has a long history of meddling in other countries’ affairs in different shapes and forms, are baseless,” said the Iranian statement.
