Dmitrii Novikov commented on the United States decision to impose sanctions against Iran

“This is the preparation of US public opinion for possible aggressive actions against Iran. And this scenario is being consistently implemented, whether it is a provocation in the Gulf of Oman or these sanctions. Everything is too obvious,” noted the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs

“These actions have a well-defined goal. The United States has been trying for a long time to create the grounds for aggression against this state. The huge bureaucratic apparatus that exists in various US departments and law enforcement agencies is well aware of this political situation. It is evident that the final decision, whether to unleash aggression against Iran or not, will belong to the top officials of the state. But those who perform political will set the stage for aggression to be possible,” the parliamentarian said.

also noted that such things as the imposition of sanctions against individuals are part of the information war.

“This is the preparation of US public opinion for possible aggressive actions against Iran. And this scenario is being consistently implemented, whether it is a provocation in the Gulf of Oman or these sanctions. Everything is too obvious,” he concluded.

The United States imposed sanctions on five Iranian citizens and seven Iranian companies.

Earlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that Washington had failed all attempts to impose pressure on Tehran.
