Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said on Saturday that the United States Justice department's decision to fingerprint Iranian citizens who entered the US before September 11, 2002 is an affront to Iranians and runs counter to ethical and civil society norms.
Unfortunately, Asefi said, the US Justice Department, in spite admitting that no Iranian citizens were involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has announced such a decision, according to IRNA.
He said that Washington has embarked on the application of insulting behavior in international relations, insisting on superiority, discrimination and grading citizens from various countries. He added that the US administration would suffer the most from such an approach. (Albawaba.com)
