Amidst the escalation and agenda of aggressions that the United States government insists on exercising against Venezuela, Cuba and Iran -to mention a few countries-, the Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Relations, Jorge Arreaza, denounced this Tuesday that the new threats with sanctions and confessions from White House spokespeople are evidence of the hostile policy against Caracas.
Specifically, the diplomat referred to the United States promoting the destruction of the Venezuelan economy by restricting the entry and import capacity of the Venezuelan State to satisfy the basic needs of the population:
“With the resources coming from oil sales, are acquired medicines, food and supplies for our people. To impede it is a crime”, said the Minister for Foreign Affairs, through his Twitter account @jaarreaza.
In this sense, the Chancellor reiterated that the denounce will be presented before the International Criminal Court (ICC) so that international justice determines those responsible for promoting unilateral coercive measures [misnamed sanctions], against the South American nation.
The diplomat’s denounce came after threats of sanctions against the spanish Repsol company “if it continues to export crude from Venezuela and violating the sanctions” from the United States.
Tehran warns Washington:
In recent days, the Iranian Foreign Ministry warned the United States regarding interferences with the transfer of fuel from Iran to Venezuela.
In a letter sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations Organization, António Guterres, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif assured that US “piracy” has threatened “to interrupt the transmission of fuel from Iran to Venezuela”, adding that the US must abandon the illegal maritime harassment that threatens international peace and security.
The United States government, like Venezuela, has intensified destabilizing actions on the Islamic Republic of Iran, in response to sovereign actions of that country, and imposed coercive measures that reach its economy.
