US blackmailing becoming pattern: Zarif
Iran's Foreign Minister reacted to the US blackmail to the Indian captain of 'Adrian Darya 1' and said that US blackmail is turning to a pattern.
Iran Press/Iran news: Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in his tweeter on Wednesday that the blackmail was similar to the US' sanctioning him due to his rejecting White House invitation.
Having failed at piracy, the US resorts to outright blackmail—deliver us Iran’s oil and receive several million dollars or be sanctioned yourself.
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) 4 September 2019
Sounds very similar to the Oval Office invitation I received a few weeks back.
It is becoming a pattern.#BTeamGangsters pic.twitter.com/B1oQTLghWZ
Earlier Zarif had told to reporters that he rejected the suggestion of a Republican Senator, Rand Paul to meet the US President Trump, but he was said that he will be sanctioned two weeks later unless he accepts the suggestion, Iran Press reported.
The US Treasury Department announced in August that it put the Iranian Foreign Minister's name in that blacklist of sanctions against Iran.
