Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called on the nation to remain calm in the face of US renewed sanctions, saying the concerns are misplaced as the country’s revenues have not experienced any drops as compared to last year.
Rouhani stressed that there is no need to panic just because the US has begun imposing sanctions against Iran. He maintained that the public’s concerns were misplaced as the government’s development budget has been paid nearly 30 times higher than the amount in the previous years.
Rouhani stressed that one year of resistance against the US plots and demands would finally make the enemy give up in despair and disappointment.
The president admitted that sanctions would cause some difficulties for people, but they could, at the same time, be used as a great opportunity for innovations, creativity and production in the face of bullying world powers.
"A handful of bullies with miscalculations and misconceptions about the whole world, including Iran, have come to power [in the US], and are not committed to any agreements and treaties. There is now a huge gap between the US and its allies. [Trump] does not even keep his words to Europe, China and Canada," the Mehr news agency cited the president as saying.
Rouhani noted that half of US population is embarrassed at their government, referring to Trump’s scandalous immigration policies and his decision to build a border wall.
