Tehran, March 24 – The Foreign Ministry spokesman on Saturday condemned the latest US anti-Iran moves in sanctioning some Iranian nationals and a company active in the field of technology and engineering services on false charges of cyber attack on American universities.
Washington would never benefit from this ploy to stop Iran's scientific progress, Bahram Qasemi added.
Qasemi termed the US move as 'provocative, illegal and without any justifiable reason and another clear sign of the US administration's hostility to the Iranian people.
