The US has an "addiction to sanctions", Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said.

"I believe there is a disease in the United States and that is the addiction to sanctions," Zarif told CNN.

"Even during the Obama administration the United States put more emphasis on keeping the sanctions it had not lifted rather than implementing its obligation on the sanctions it lifted."
