Arab journalist: Zarif’s sanctions sign of Trump administration’s political fall

SHAFAQNAProminent Palestinian-British Journalist Abdel Bari Atwan says by slapping sanctions on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, the current US government only proved its bankruptcy and confusion.

Writing in his online newspaper raialyoum, Atwan noted “the imposition of sanctions is the only language US President Donald Trump knows to use against Iran and its Arabic-Islamic allied movements throughout the Middle East including Lebanon’s Hezbollah , Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Yemen’s Ansarullah and Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi also known as Popular Mobilization Units (PMU)”.

The editor-in-chief of raialyoum called Zarif’s sanction’s “nonsense and absurd because he has no foreign bank accounts to be confiscated by the United States and in addition, European countries are not cooperating with those measures”. Abdel Bari Atwan also mentioned Zarif’s remarks that he was blacklisted because he refused the White House’s invitation, adding “the countries that have national dignity, religious and civilization values never run to Washington’s call.”

Atwan wrote, “slapping punitive measures against Zarif, could be a response to Iran’s downing of an American drone or missile tests, the Trump administration failed to find better response to Iran’s actions rather than sanctioning Mohammad Javad Zarif.”

Abdel Bari Atwan concluded that Zarif will laugh more than before ughter to pressure President Trump and Security Advisor John Bolton.
