Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif responded on Tuesday to United States President Donald Trump's decision to end sanction waivers on the import of Iranian oil.
Writing on Twitter, Zarif said, "Escalating economic terrorism against Iranians exposes panic & desperation of US regime—and chronic failures of its client co-conspirators. Referring to Trump's word not to take advice from former secretary of state John Kerry, Zarif added, "REAL news, Donald Trump: Inheritors of ancient Persian civilization don't base strategy on 'advice' of foreigners—let alone Americans."
