US imposes illegal sanctions on Iranian airline, shipping industry
The new sanctions were announced only days after prisoner swap between Tehran and Washington.
According to Press TV, Hawkish US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin claimed that the Iranian government “uses its aviation and shipping industries to supply its regional terrorist and militant groups with weapons, directly contributing to the devastating humanitarian crises in Syria and Yemen," adding that “aviation and shipping industries should be vigilant and not allow their industries to be exploited by terrorists.”
The Trump administration has spared no efforts in support for Saudi Arabia in its constant bombing of the impoverished Yemen.
Washington’s policy in West Asia over the past decades has only increased tension and instability in the oil-rich region and led to gruesome phenomena such as the rise of the Daesh Takfiri group.
Iran has slammed Saudi Arabia for the continuation of its warmongering policy against the Ansarullah Movement in Yemen.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said that Iran will keep its military advisory presence in Syria as long as Tehran finds it "effective and useful."
