No sign of US goodwill
Iran has called on Washington to effectively and verifiably remove its sanctions on Tehran, calling the US so-called maximum pressure campaign a maximum failure. In a tweet, Foreign Ministry spokesperson urged US president, Joe Biden to stop following in his predecessor, Donald Trump’s footsteps. Saeed Khatibzadeh also said that Washington’s recent move in lifting some sanctions has nothing to do with the Vienna talks on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal. He added, the selective delisting don’t signal any good will in the face of what he called renewed US economic terrorism. On Thursday, Washington repealed sanctions on three former Iranian officials and two companies, describing the move as a routine administrative action. A senior US official said that the move was not related to Vienna talks but claimed it was Washington’s good faith approach.
G7 jab plan not enough
The United Nations Secretary-General says the G-7 leaders’ pledge of donating COVID-19 vaccines is insufficient to tackle the pandemic. Antonio Guterres said the world needs more than the 1 billion dose target the G-7 is expected to share. He said the world is still far from adopting a global vaccination plan, and dealing with the issue with a sense of urgency. International rights and charity groups, including Oxfam, have also criticized the G-7’s vaccination plan. Oxfam says the world needs 11-billion COVID-19 jabs to defeat the pandemic. The charity organization also called on G-7 leaders to support a push for waiving intellectual property rights behind the vaccines, a move that would allow more countries to produce the jabs.
