Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says new American sanctions are an “indiscriminate assault” on his country.

Zarif made the comments Tuesday in an online video. He said the sanctions were aimed at forcing “us to submit to (America’s) will, no matter how absurd, unlawful or fundamentally flawed its demands are.”

Zarif urges America to re-examine its “catastrophes” in the Mideast, including its support of both Saudi Arabia and Israel.

He says the Washington has turned a blind eye to their “appalling atrocities that have resulted in global indignation and engendered insecurity to us all, the US included.”
