Iranian president calls for an end to US sanctions

New York: In a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made a strong appeal for the United States to lift the sanctions imposed on Iran.

Raisi argued that these sanctions had failed to achieve their intended objectives and urged the US to reconsider its course of action.

Addressing the assembly, President Raisi asserted that the sanctions had not yielded the desired results, indicating that it was high time for the US to abandon what he termed the "wrong path" and instead choose a more constructive approach.

Furthermore, Raisi made allegations regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, suggesting that the US had actively contributed to the war's continuation as a means to weaken European nations.

He expressed his concerns, characterizing this as part of a broader, long-term strategy.
