Iran condemns US selling of Venezuelas public assets

Kanaani condemned an illegal move by the United States to confiscate and sell shares of Citgo Refinery, which is part of the assets of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as a violation of international law.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani condemned an illegal move by the United States to confiscate and sell shares of Citgo Refinery, which is part of the assets of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as a violation of international law.

Kanaani added that the courageous and intelligent resistance and persistence of Venezuela against the cruel unilateral sanctions of the US, which foiled the political schemes of the White House in international circles against Venezuela, prompted Washington to exact revenge on Caracas and steal the property of the Latin American country that belongs to the Venezuelan people.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman reaffirmed Iran's decisive support for the government and people of Venezuela in their defense of their legitimate and legal rights.
