Washington blocked 90% of Iranian purchases of medical equipment amid the spread of coronavirus.
This was told by American journalist Rick Sterling, commenting on the allegations of US officials, according to which anti-Iranian sanctions supposedly do not apply to the humanitarian sphere.
“There is no doubt that sanctions against Iran limit the supply of medical equipment to the country. The US Department of the Treasury’s Foreign Assets Control Department reportedly blocked 90% of Iran’s medical equipment purchases”, – Sterling said.
He stressed that the world is facing an economic war that “threatens the sovereignty of nations and violates the UN Charter”.
“In the current difficult situation, because of the coronavirus, the US is trying to use a pandemic to intervene and overthrow the governments of other countries”, – the journalist said.
