The Jerusalem Post published an article by Michael Wilner headlined "Khamenei’s ‘resistance of economy’ plan complicates Vienna diplomacy, expert says."
"Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei unveiled a strategy against international sanctions last week that encourages indigenous development of new technologies within the country, dubbed “resistance economy” by the Iranian government," the article begins.
"The new policy suggests Khamenei might be planning for the possibility that international sanctions could remain in place through the foreseeable future," the author writes.
“Khamenei’s ‘resistance of economy’ plan could be an indicator that he is preparing for a possible breakdown in negotiations,” Nima Gerami, an Iran expert at the National Defense University, is quoted by the Jerusalem Post as saying.
"In a paper published last week by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Gerami said that nuclear politics in Iran are more dynamic and consequential than often acknowledged in foreign policy circles," the article reads.
