Iran will overcome "inhumane and illegal" US sanctions in the new Iranian year by expanding ties with nations equally tired of American "bullying," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday on Twitter.
"We rely solely on our own people to overcome any challenges, but we also welcome constructive engagement, including with the expanding array of nations who are equally sick and tired of the bullying of the US," Zarif said in a long post on his Twitter feed.
Many in Iran & across the globe are tonight celebrating #Nowruz, the New Year. Nowruz means renewal: not only of nature, but of our thoughts, deeds, and— importantly—hope for a brighter future.
