“Subjecting builders to economic terrorism, (USA. - RT ) only show the maximum failure of the“ maximum pressure, ”he wrote on Twitter.

As the minister pointed out, the United States "may impose sanctions against any man, woman and child, but not intimidate Iranians."

“Instead of digging deeper, the US should abandon unsuccessful policies and return to the JCPOA,” he added.

Subjecting construction workers to #EconomicTerrorism only manifests maximum failure of "maximum pressure”.

US can sanction every man, woman & child but Iranians will never submit to bullying.

Rather than dig itself deeper, US should abandon failed policies & return to #JCPOA.
