Iran warned on Friday against the fallout from the new US sanctions against the country

Iran warned on Friday against the fallout from the new US sanctions against the country, saying the move would have serious repercussions on Tehran nuclear talks with world powers.

“Although American officials link the recent measures to the sanctions imposed [on Iran] before the Geneva talks, such moves can, at this juncture, have serious negative consequences on the trend of the negotiations,” Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Mohammad Khazaei said.

He added the measure would fuel skepticism about Washington’s good faith.
”At this juncture, the negative implications of this move will deepen the suspicions of the Iranian nation and the international community which are waiting for a comprehensive win-win agreement as a result of the talks,” Khazaei said.
“The move will also see the negotiations lose international and Iranians’ support,” the envoy added.

Washington’s recent measure would also dash the negotiators’ hope of reaching a “logical, lasting and constructive deal” during the talks, he underlined.

“In this sensitive situation, it is better to avoid any move which would ruin the current positive atmosphere,” said the Iranian diplomat.

Iran's foreign ministry also on Friday slammed Washington’s new sanctions and blamed the US administration for the move.

Russian Foreign Ministry also on Friday warned that new US sanctions against Iran can seriously complicate the implementation of Tehran’s nuclear deal with the Sextet of world powers.

On Thursday, the US issued new sanctions against more than a dozen companies and individuals for “providing support for” Iran’s nuclear program.
