Iran’s UN Ambassador, Gholamali Khoshroo, said in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the new US sanctions are illegal and in violation of a Security Council resolution.

He wrote that the "irresponsible conduct of the United States necessitates a collective response to uphold the rule of law."

"The United Nations and its member-states, in accordance with the charter of the United Nations and the international law, should resist against these wrongful acts and hold the United States accountable for such acts," he added, according to AFP.
