Iran to sanction a number of Western officials, institutions today

Tehran, IRNA – Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian announced on Wednesday that four institutions and 15 foreign officials that had a hand in the sanctions against Iran would be added to the country’s blacklist within the next few hours. Unilateral sanctions have turned into modern tools for violating human rights, Amirabdollahian said during his visit to a house of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) in Tehran. His visit took place on the eve of EB week in late October. Those who had a role in imposing sanctions will be added to the Foreign Ministry terrorist list because they are examples of terrorist groups, he underlined. Today, some countries which were after turmoil and terror are shedding crocodile tears in their eyes after the death of an Iranian girl, the foreign minister noted. The foreign minister went on to say that there are 1,300 EB patients in Iran, but Sweden refrains from giving special wound dressing to them, and this is while the Westerners have expressed over and over that the sanctions do not include patients and medicines. But, this is not practically correct, he stressed. EB is a term used to describe a rare and inherited disorder that causes the skin to become fragile conditions. Follow us on Twitter @IrnaEnglish
