Javad Zarif: US holds off on sanctions on Iranian foreign minister

CNN  

CNN — The United States will not impose sanctions on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif – at least for the time being – two State Department officials confirmed to CNN Thursday. The move to spare Iran’s top diplomat comes weeks after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters that President Donald Trump had directed him to impose sanctions on Zarif. Despite his administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran, Trump has on numerous occasions expressed a desire to speak with Iranian officials “without preconditions.” Iranian officials have largely dismissed that overture until the US shows Tehran “respect.” “Iran never negotiates with coercion. In late June, the administration imposed a “hard hitting” round of sanctions that would deny Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his office “and many others” access to financial instruments.
