80 percent of Iran's problems come from management - speaker

About 80 percent of the country's problems come from improper management, Iran's parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani said today, Fars reports.

"The other 20 percent of problems are the result of the international embargo," Larijani said.

The Speaker was commenting on U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland's words regarding Iran's economy suffering big time from the impact of the imposed sanctions.

"From our perspective, increasingly successful international pressure is affecting the Iranian economy. It's under incredible strain. Iran is increasingly cut off from the global financial system. Significant amounts of Iranian oil are also coming off the market. Firms all over the world are refusing to do business with Iranian companies," U.S. spokesperson Victoria Nuland said at the briefing.

Ali Larijani said that the country has more important problems than international sanctions.
