Envoy: Sanctions Hamper Iran’s Illegal Drug Fight



VIENNA (Dispatches) -- Iran’s ambassador to international organizations in Vienna said Monday unilateral sanctions imposed on Iran by Western countries are hampering the Islamic Republic’s fight against smuggling of illicit drugs.
Kazem Gharibabadi made the remarks in an address to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Iran’s fight against drugs is a real campaign based on lofty moral and human values, he said, expressing regret that concerned international organizations have failed to fulfill their duties in this regard as a result of their politicized approaches.
