Iran Neutralizing Sanctions without Abandoning Talks: FM
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Highlighting Iran’s uninterrupted efforts to nullify the illegal sanctions, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian stressed that Tehran has meanwhile not backed out of negotiations and diplomacy.
In a post on his account on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, Amirabdollahian said the administration of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has focused on dynamic diplomacy to fulfill national interests since it took office in August 2021.
The foreign minister underlined that Iran has never abandoned the course of negotiations and diplomacy while it has proceeded with the efforts to neutralize the illegal sanctions.
“The efforts will go on until the achievement of ultimate results and the complete fulfillment of Iran’s rights,” he stated.
His comments came after the Foreign Ministry confirmed the ongoing process of releasing $6 billion worth of Iran’s funds, which have been unlawfully held in South Korea due to US sanctions.
The ministry emphasized that releasing the funds has consistently been on its agenda, noting that these funds were "illegally blocked" under the pretext of "overseas banks' concerns about America's oppressive sanctions."
