Iran's government spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi said Saturday that the US fresh sanctions against Iran and its blocking the entry of an Iranian singer is a sign of "hostility" against the country.
"By imposing new sanctions and preventing an Iranian singer from entering (the United States) under false pretenses, it has once again shown that it is hostile to the people of Iran in all circumstances," Bahadori Jahromi tweeted.
The US Treasury Department on Wednesday announced new sanctions against an Iranian individual and his network of companies that reportedly are procuring materials for Iran's research and development of ballistic missiles.
Tehran said that Iranian traditional vocalist Alireza Ghorbani could not perform in California last week after US intelligence agents denied him entry allegedly for his military service in Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.
