The US imposes new sanctions related to the Iranian drone program
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Friday that the new US sanctions imposed on Iran's military drone program contradict Washington's claims that it is seeking to return to the nuclear agreement.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh announced that "the completely contradictory behavior of the White House" is apparent through its proclamations of intentions to return to the nuclear agreement while proceeding to impose further sanctions.
The US Treasury said today that the Biden administration has imposed new sanctions on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' drone program, accusing it of "threatening regional stability."
