TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has slammed the US' continued sanctions against the Islamic Republic amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Even amid COVID-19, the US continues to exert Trump's failed 'maximum pressure' on Iranians. Isn't it time to try something that may actually work?" Zarif queried on social media on Friday.
The Iranian diplomat posted the image of a six-year-old Iranian girl who was affected by the US sanctions, as well as a complaint made by her, reports Xinhua news agency.
