In a recent statement, the Iranian government reiterated its stance that all nations in the international community have a legal and moral obligation to refrain from imposing sanctions or taking unilateral actions that contradict the principles of international law and the UN Charter.
According to Tehran, unilateral coercive measures not only erode trust among nations but also directly harm ordinary civilians, especially in humanitarian areas such as health, food, and energy. Iran called on countries to fully honor their obligations within a multilateral framework, rather than using sanctions as a tool of political pressure.
The move comes amid continued tensions between Iran and several Western powers over its nuclear program and regional issues. Tehran has repeatedly condemned sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union, viewing them as violations of national sovereignty and development rights.
Analysts say Iran's repeated emphasis on this issue shows it is seeking to rally support from developing nations in multilateral forums such as the United Nations, aiming to oppose what it describes as "unilateralism" in the foreign policies of major powers.
