Iranian president says enemy fails to achieve goals by sanction pressures

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday that enemy has failed to crumple economy in Iran under sanction pressures.

The Iranian administration has been able to overcome the enemy's economic pressures and accelerated domestic production, Rouhani was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.

While the enemy had plans to mount pressure of sanctions to disrupt the supply of necessary commodities in Iran, the Iranian administration has managed to nullify the sanctions in cooperation with people and local economic activists, entrepreneurs, producers and exporters, Rouhani told a meeting of the administration's Economic Coordination Headquarters on Sunday.

He emphasized his cabinet's determination to follow a regular plan for supplying currency for the purchase of basic commodities and raw materials despite the foreign pressures.

Since summer 2018, after the United States left the Iranian landmark nuclear deal, Iran has experienced maximum pressure on its economy by Washington's unilateral sanctions.
