Iran's foreign minister said U.S. 'economic terrorism' against Cuba, China, Russia, Syria, Iran and others 'deliberately target civilians, trying to achieve illegitimate political objectives through intimidation of innocent people.'
Russia, China, Iran, Syria and Cuba are among the nations that have come out against the United States' use of sanctions to enforce its foreign policy around the world and these powers have sought ways to support each other in their common struggle.
While Washington's use of sanctions for political purposes far predates Trump's time in the White House, the Republican leader has expanded the practice — and a number of these targets are fighting back. Russia and China joined the U.S., the European Union, France, Germany and the United Kingdom in forging a nuclear deal with Iran in 2015, lifting international sanctions in exchange for Tehran agreeing to curb its nuclear activities. Last year, Trump unilaterally abandoned the accord due to Iran's alleged funding of militant groups abroad and its development of missile technology.
"Mutual interest in cooperation between Iran and Crimea is growing, especially considering the anti-Iranian policy of the U.S., sanctions introduced against this country and related consequence," Muradov told the state-run Tass Russian News Agency at the time.
