Iran: US sanctions contradict its desire to return to nuclear talks

The Iranian Foreign Ministry responded on Friday to sanctions imposed by the US on its drone program, and said they contradicted Washington’s claim to seek a return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

“The imposition of new sanctions reflects the completely contradictory behavior of the White House (which) speaks of its intention to return to the nuclear accord and continues to impose sanctions,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh was quoted by Reuters as having told state media.
