MNA – Iranian Information and Communications Technology Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi reacted to a recent decision by the United States on targeting the Islamic Republic's space program with new sanctions.

The ICT Minister posted a photo of the galaxy on his Twitter account on Wednesday and wrote, “I can’t even locate the US in this picture, let alone sanctions on Space!”

“The universe and bright future belong to everyone, not to a few,” he added.

He also ridiculed US President Donald Trump for his recent tweets against Iran, saying “Stop imitating Thanos [a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books] Donald Trump!”
