Iranian official says sanctions no solution to nuclear issue
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi says unilateral sanctions imposed against the Islamic Republic cannot resolve the issue of Tehran's nuclear energy program, Press TV reported.
"Lifting sanctions can be part of a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue but imposing sanctions is not a solution," Araqchi said on June 3 in response to the recent US move to lift a ban on the sales of communications equipment to Iranians.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program. Washington and the European Union have imposed sanctions against Tehran despite Iran's rejection of their allegation.
"Unilateral sanctions are unlawful and outdated and experience has shown that it (imposing sanctions) will not only fail to solve problems but it will also complicate the issue," Araqchi added.
