Sanctions are ineffective in resolving the standoff over Iran's nuclear program, he said in a meeting with his visiting Senegalese counterpart Medike Niang, adding that Iran will stick to its " logical and fair stance" over its "peaceful" nuclear program despite sanctions.
On June 9, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution to impose a fourth round of sanctions against Iran over its suspected nuclear program, which caused sharp reactions from Iranian officials.
