Lifting Anti-Iran Sanctions Sole Way for US to Rectify Trump’s Policies: Shamkhani


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani reminded the White House that removal of the sanctions against Iran would be the only option to correct the outgoing US administration’s wrong strategies.

“America's perceptual war to magnify a trivial issue such as its return to JCPOA will not be successful,” Shamkhani said in a post on his Twitter account on Sunday.

“The complete and definitive lifting of all sanctions is Washington's sole option to correct Trump's failed strategy of maximum pressure,” he underlined.

President of Iran Hassan Rouhani has called on the next US administration to learn lessons from the futility of sanctions against the Iranian nation, abide by the law and resume honoring its commitments.

In remarks in November, Rouhani highlighted the global rejection of the harmful policies the US government has adopted over the past three years, saying the next US administration has an opportunity to correct the mistakes and return to the international law.
