In a statement, the ministry said the U.S. economic campaign represents a harsh instrument designed to inflict pain and suffering on the Iranian people, stressing that U.S. sanctions are placing the health and livelihoods of millions of civilians at serious risk.

It said the U.S. economic measures rise to the level of an international crime and a crime against humanity.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said the new U.S. policy requires the international community, including United Nations bodies, to take action to uphold the rule of law.

Iran also urged countries to refrain from implementing the U.S. sanctions.

The ministry reaffirmed that Tehran is determined to use all its capabilities to defend the country against the U.S.-Israeli military and economic offensive.
