Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed Friday that "Iran won't distance itself from result-oriented talks."

In a tweet, Amir-Abdollahian affirmed that Tehran never hesitates to neutralize sanctions imposed against it.

Commenting on the US Treasury Department's imposition of new sanctions against Tehran, the top Iranian diplomat called on the US to be realistic and "abandon sanctions lunacy," while also calling on the IAEA "to focus on technical duties instead of adopting politicized approach."

Iran won't distance itself from result-oriented talks.

Abiding by Majlis law, we continue talks & call on US to be realistic & abandon sanctions lunacy; & on IAEA to focus on technical duties instead of adopting politicized approach.

We NEVER hesitate to neutralize sanctions.

The US Treasury said Thursday that it was imposing sanctions on a network of Iranian petrochemical firms including alleged front companies in China and the United Arab Emirates for Iran's state-owned company and Triliance, a Hong Kong-based company already under US sanctions for its dealing with Tehran.

According to the Treasury, the sanctioned network "helps effectuate international transactions and evade sanctions, supporting the sale of Iranian petrochemical products to customers in the (People's Republic of China) and the rest of East Asia."

The US Treasury Department also targeted China-based broker Jeff Gao and Indian national Mohammad Shaheed Ruknooddin Bhore for allegedly managing business for Triliance.

"Absent a deal, we will continue to use our sanctions authorities to limit exports of petroleum, petroleum products and petrochemical products from Iran," said Brian Nelson, senior Treasury Department official.

Iran: Petrochemical industry to continue despite US sanctions

In response to the new US decision to impose a ban on the Iranian petrochemical sector, Mehdi Safari, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Diplomacy, pointed out that this sector had already been subject to sanctions.

"Our petrochemical industry and its products have long been under sanctions, but our sales have continued through various channels and shall continue to do so," Safari told Iranian state TV.
