Iran Speaker Says Muslim Nations Should Unite Against Cruel U.S. Sanctions

The speaker of the Iranian parliament has called on Muslim nations to stand alongside Tehran in the face of what he described as cruel and illegal sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump's administration this month.

Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf told Azhar Azizan Harun, the speaker of Malaysia's House of Representatives on Monday that Malaysia and other Muslim nations should push back against America's maximum pressure campaign on Iran. In the current situation where everyone is grappling with the crisis of the covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. regime has imposed cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation, which we expect the friendly and Muslim countries not to comply with.
