Biden Admin Complicit in Trump’s Crimes against Humanity - Araqchi

By Staff, Agencies

The US administration of Joe Biden has partaken in ex-president Donald Trump's crimes against humanity for 144 days, the Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said, criticizing Biden's administration for continuing Trump's policies.

"The US has for the past 3 years targeted every single Iranian living anywhere with its brutal & unlawful sanctions", Araqchi made the remarks in his Twitter account, in reference to the Americans' moves against the Iranian nation following the unilateral withdrawal of former US administration from Iran's nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA].

"The current US admin has partaken in these crimes against humanity for 144 days", the top Iranian negotiator also said, criticizing Joe Biden's administration for continuing Trump's policies.

"Iranians should not have spent a single day under sanctions", he also stressed.

Since April, representatives from Iran and the P4+1 group of countries have been holding talks in Vienna aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and bringing the US back to compliance with the accord.

The US, under Trump, unilaterally left the JCPOA in 2018 and returned the sanctions that had been lifted against Tehran as part of the agreement.

Biden said Washington is willing to return to the pact if Tehran first suspends its countermeasures taken in response to the US violations and reimposition of sanctions.
