TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian UN ambassador Mohammad Khazaei in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, condemned recent US sanctions against some Iranian companies and individuals.

Here is the Full Text of the letter:

"In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

24 June 2011

Excellency,

As you are aware, on June 23, U.S. Secretaries of Department of State and Department of the Treasury in a joint statement declared the United States new unilateral sanctions against some Iranian companies and individuals including Iran Air, the Islamic Republic of Iran's civilian airline company. In pursuance of its overwhelmingly politicized aggressive policy of sanctions against the Iranian nation, the U.S. administration, once again, has sought recourse to a set of untrue and void allegations against my country in order to justify its unfair treatment towards the Iranian people.

Those accusatory allegations raised against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the joint Statement are yet another example of misrepresentation of the realities on the ground in the interest of certain circles of political and economic power to further their hegemonic policies in the Middle East region, and also a deception tactic to avert the attention of the U.S. citizens from many unfruitful and failed policies in domestic and foreign levels.

Against the U.S. hypocritical and politically biased allegation claiming that its sanctions are merely focused on certain companies and legal and real entities involved in those activities supporting Iran's nuclear program or some foreign groups, there is no doubt that the main purpose of such an unrealistic and hostile policy is to affect the lives of the entire Iranian population. We would like to reiterate that this policy is tantamount to economic and political blackmail against a sovereign Member State of the United nation, and constitutes serious violation of United States obligations under the provision of international law on the non-applicability of sanctions against civilian populations.
