Removing sanctions on Iran could salvage nuclear deal – Tehran

Iran’s supreme leader will not meet US President Donald Trump unless Washington halts its “economic terrorism” targeting the country, its foreign minister has said.

Mohammad Javad Zarif said the removal of US sanctions – which he described as a form of extortion, arm twisting and intimidation – could also help salvage the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal, which Washington unilaterally withdrew from last year.
