FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “I think we can look at this latest action by the American government in the interesting context of the presidential campaign,” Franklin Lamb said in an interview with Press TV.
“What happened is the Congress pushed by the Zionist lobby and by the Republicans, in their second-tier leadership position in the Congress, they drafted legislation and the House, as you know, voted on it yesterday,” he added.
On Wednesday, the US Congress ratified additional sanctions against Iran in an attempt to impose further restrictions against the country’s oil exports.
The Congress’ new motion targets any individual or entity that interacts with Iran’s petroleum or natural gas sector, participates in Iran’s mining of uranium, sells oil tankers to Tehran, or offers insurance coverage to the National Iranian Tanker Co.
The plan comes on top of earlier sanctions announced by US President Barack Obama against Iran’s energy and petrochemical sectors on Tuesday.
“It was a very shrewd political deal. The Senate will ratify no doubt on Friday and Obama will sign their legislation which is basically the same as the executive order although it adds a little bit,” Lamb pointed out.
The West’s sanctions are meant to pressure the Islamic Republic over its nuclear energy program, which Washington, Israel and some of their allies claim includes a military aspect.
Following the US-engineered sanctions on Iran’s banking, the imports of more than fifty kinds of badly needed medicine for people who suffer from certain diseases such as cancer, children’s cancer, thalassemia, multiple sclerosis (MS), and respiratory and heart diseases, have declined drastically.
Those who suffer from such diseases hardly find their medicine or if they do, they should pay a high price.
Many prominent international lawyers, Lamb and Francis Boyle, contend that Iran is entitled to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice against the US, France, the UK and their allies, on behalf of all Iranian citizens being harmed by illegal and political economic sanctions.
