00:00The United States Treasury Department imposed a new package of sanctions against Iran on Wednesday,
00:05affecting dozens of individual companies and vessels linked to an international shipping network.
00:12Treasury Secretary Scott Besson reported that the package consists of more than 115 sanctions imposed today,
00:20the most broad since the Trump administration launched its maximum pressure campaign on Iran.
00:26In addition, the Assistant U.S. Treasury Secretary Michael Falkder stated that the objective of this measure is to limit Tehran's main source of revenue,
00:38pressure the government to end its nuclear program, and reduce its ballistic missile program.
00:44And in a statement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Barguay issued a strong rebuke following the new United States sanctions against Iran.
00:53According to the official, the true aim behind the sanctions is to cripple Iran's development.
00:59Barguay also called the move a clear reflection of the hostility of the United States' policymakers towards the Iranian people.
01:07The spokesman also pointed to the United States throwing unprecedented support behind the Israeli regime's provoked war on the Islamic Republic last month.
01:19Barguay finally underlined the nation's unshakable resolve to pursue its lofty goals to protect national sovereignty despite Washington's provocations.
