The United States will impose sanctions on countries that help Iran evade sanctions and create mechanisms for Tehran to generate revenue. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with Fox Radio.
"If countries decide to do this, we will also have to impose sanctions on them," Rubio said.
According to him, it is not only about pressure on Iran, but also about depriving it of access to funds that could be used to finance terrorism and build nuclear weapons.
"They want money for two things: to finance terrorism and ultimately build a nuclear weapon. And we cannot allow that to happen," the US Secretary of State noted.
