The Iranian president slams sanctions as a new form of domination, calling for a collective response from independent nations to counter such measures. Ebrahim Raeisi denounced sanctions as part of a broader agenda to undermine sovereign states. The Iranian president noted that independent nations are experiencing a historic growth in power while the U-S is suffering its weakest position. In a reference to the 20-15 deal, known as the J-C-P-O-A, Raeisi said Tehran is serious about reaching an agreement, only if the other signatories are serious about removing sanctions in an effective and practical manner.
