TEHRAN: New American sanctions against Iran´s nuclear programme will have “no effect”, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Friday. Washington announced new sanctions on Thursday against the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran and its head Ali Akbar Salehi. Brian Hook, the US pointman on Iran, accused them of playing “a big role in Iran breaching its key nuclear commitments” and exceeding “the limits on its uranium stockpile and enrichment levels”. In a statement, Mousavi said “Mr Salehi is an eminent scientific and political figure” and sanctions against him showed the “despair” of the United States. The sanctions would have “no impact on the progress of the peaceful nuclear programme of the Islamic republic of Iran,” Mousavi added. Salehi holds a doctorate of nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States and was minister of foreign affairs from 2010 to 2013 before becoming Iran´s atomic energy chief.
