(5 Nov 2018) Iran's foreign ministry shrugged off the re-imposition of US sanctions on Iran on Monday, calling them "fruitless" and part of the US propaganda and psychological war against Iran. Bahram Ghasemi told reporters the sanctions were nothing new and that the country had gone through a wider range of sanctions in the past. He claimed the sanctions would backfire and work against the United States, adding that "the majority of countries - such as the European Union, China and Russia - are opposed to these sanctions and have shown no interest in them." The sanctions end all US economic benefits America granted to Tehran for its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and in particular target Iran's vital oil industry.
