Iran says recent U.S. sanctions not constructive, foreign ministry

DUBAI (Reuters) – Recent U.S. sanctions on Iran are not constructive when it comes to negotiations, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Tuesday, after the two countries held a fourth round of nuclear talks on Sunday in Oman.

The U.S. on Tuesday imposed sanctions on a shipping network it says has sent millions of barrels of Iranian oil to China, the State Department said.
