Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi has once again dismissed Western sanctions against the country as unproductive and reflective of the enemy’s lack of a true insight about the Iranian nation, Press TV reports.
Referring to the long-standing sanctions regime against Iran, Rahimi said in a Tuesday speech that the country has been under sanctions by “aggressive powers” for years, adding that the “enemies do not have a factual understanding of the Iranian nation and continue to perceive that by imposing sanctions they can disrupt the progress of this nation."
“The sanctions not only fail to impede the progress of the Iranian nation, but they also lay the ground for self-sufficiency and development [in the country],” the vice president said during a meeting with an aerospace industry workgroup.
