'What are they afraid of?' — Iran’s Ambassador slams US visa denials

Washington is threatening to cut Iranian airlines off from airports and services worldwide, warning that anyone providing fuel, landing services or ticket sales could be excluded from the dollar system. The report says Azerbaijan and Iraq have suspended ties with Iranian airlines amid the pressure.

Reporting from outside Iran’s embassy in Moscow, RT’s Anastasia Volodina covers Ambassador Jalali’s response. He calls the sanctions “economic terrorism,” argues that they violate international law and says Iran will use legal and diplomatic tools to defend its rights.
