US sanctions will not change Iran’s policy, said Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.
Told @DohaForum: Sanctions have never worked. They hurt ordinary Iranians but don't change policy. It was U-turn on part of US which allowed #IranTalks to proceed. Same dynamic today. #Iran and E3+2 are at table. It is US which has decided to walk away and sow violence & chaos. pic.twitter.com/kD9DQq2kR5

Referring to the policy adopted by the former US administration to begin talks with Iran on the country's nuclear program, Iran’s FM said that was a reversal by the US, which made it possible to continue talks with Iran.
