TEHRAN, Apr 03 - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif revealed his US counterpart’s false claim that Washington would be providing relief aid for Iran.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - In a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday, Zarif used the term ‘fake news’ –frequently used by US President Donald Trump- to lambast the US secretary of state who has voiced Washington’s readiness to help Iran’s Red Crescent through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
“FAKE NEWS: SecPompeo claim that US ‘ready to assist ifrc, which would direct money through Iranian Red Crescent for relief’,” Zarif wrote.
“REAL NEWS: As ICRC President noted, Iranian Red Crescent can't receive any funds due to illegal US sanctions. US should own up to its ECONOMIC TERRORISM,” Zarif underscored.
