Dalton, a well-known advocate of ties with Tehran who is the vice president of the British-Iranian Chamber of Commerce, made the comment while addressing a meeting in London on October 18.
Speaking at a meeting titled, “Iran-UK Business Relations: Opportunities and Prospects,” Dalton said, “Trade with Iran is still possible,” although he also talked about the hindrances in the way of conducting business with Iran, including Europe’s delays in coming up with a practical mechanism to help Iran in its international transactions regardless of U.S. sanctions.
According to the official news agency IRNA, Dalton “condemned U.S. efforts to harm the Iranian nation, peace, and security in the region as well as Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).”
Dalton also criticized the United States’ interference in trade affairs with Iran in a harsh tone, saying “Britain will never accept other countries pass laws for it on doing trade with the countries,” the agency quoted him as saying.
