Iran says Washington’s sanctions against the country are targeting civilians, are inhumane and contravene the United Nations Charter.

Axar.az reports citing IFP News.

“The sanctions are targeting non-military and humanitarian items such as food and drugs, which, accordingly, puts people’s safety at risk, and the sanctions are in violation of numerous articles of the UN Charter,” said Seyyed Hamid Pourmohammadi, who holds the rotating presidency of the Board of Governors of the Asian and Pacific Center for the Development of Disaster Information Management (APDIM) in his speech at the fourth meeting of the board.
