"The decision of the United States to introduce additional sanctions against Iran is a new evidence that the United States continues hostile actions against the Iranian people and its leaders," TASS quoted him as saying.
He also said that the actions of the United States testify to the disrespect of international law and the opinion of the majority of the representatives of the world community.
Taht-Ravanchi accused Washington of conducting an “economic war” against Iran and stressed that the country would not “succumb to the pressure” of the United States.
The representative of Iran also called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to assist in stabilizing the situation in the region.
In addition, Iran has submitted to the UN evidence of US violation of the country's territory by a drone.
On June 20, Iranian servicemen shot down an American UAV that violated the country's airspace.
At the same time, Washington stated that at the time of the state of emergency the apparatus was flying “over international waters”.
On June 24, US leader Donald Trump signed a decree imposing sanctions on Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in response to the country's "hostile behavior".
