Escalating US economic WAR on Iranians, @realDonaldTrump ordered SoT 'to substantially increase sanctions against the COUNTRY of Iran!' It's admission that US is DELIBERATELY targeting ordinary citizens: #EconomicTerrorism, illegal & inhuman. ُStop war & terror. #Security4All. — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) September 18, 2019
