TEHRAN – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his country will have no part in possible U.S. sanctions on Iran, Sputnik reported on Tuesday, citing Dunya newspaper.

“We had a U.S. delegation here and we […] explained to them that we believe that [such moves] are a mistake. We are not obliged to abide by any sanctions imposed by anyone,” the paper quoted the Turkish minister as saying.

Back in May, President Trump pulled the United States out of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal agreed between Iran and six world powers and reintroduced sanctions against Iran.
