Nothing Could Justify Death of A Child Due to US Sanctions: Iran's Deputy UN Envoy
News - Middle East: Iran's deputy UN envoy has vehemently denounced the US's unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic and their role in preventing access to medicine by Iranian patients, including children, who face life-threatening diseases.
"Nothing could ever justify such horrific measures against people," Zahra Ershadi said before the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.
"Nothing could justify the death of a child who could simply not have a medical product due to UCMs," she added.
The diplomat was referring by abbreviation to the unilateral coercive measures, another name for the sanctions, which the United States re-imposed against Iran in 2018.
The United States returned the sanctions after leaving a 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and other countries.
