Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has slammed Washington’s groundless accusations against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said in a statement on Friday that no international law allows the US to interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries and prepare the ground for a coup, overthrow or aggression against an independent state by abusing its judicial mechanisms.

He said the worse thing is to offer a reward for the arrest of the head of a foreign government to demote him in such an outdated and old-fashioned way. 

“The US government’s unilateralism and shameless enforcement of domestic law beyond borders has reached its climax. Such arbitrary acts and violations of international law have reached a level that could jeopardise the integrity of the United Nations and the international community,” Mousavi stressed.

The spokesman also asserted that the world’s indifference, silence and submission towards these moves by the US government is a form of support and assistance for Washington’s illegal conduct. 

"We urge all members of the international community to unanimously defend multilateralism and to say no to the unilateral actions of the United States of America with a loud and clear voice,” he added.
