Iran never to accept EU's 'humiliating conditions' on non-dollar trade: Apex judge

Iran's top judge said on Monday that Tehran would never accept the "humiliating conditions" set by the European Union for non-dollar trade with Iran to avert U.S. sanctions, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. "After nine months of procrastination and negotiation, Europeans have created a mechanism with limited capacity ... only for food and medicine," Tasnim quoted Sadeq Amoli-Larijani as saying.

"Iran will never accept their strange and humiliating conditions of joining the FATF (the Financial Action Task Force) and negotiations on its missile programme." France, Germany and Britain have opened a new channel for non-dollar trade with Iran to avert U.S. sanctions, reimposed on Iran after President Donald Trump's decision in May to exit a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers.
