U.S. Sanctions Not to stop Iran Trade With Other States
IRAN NEWS NATIONAL DESK
TEHRAN – Government Spokesman Ali Rabiee says the U.S. unilateral sanctions would not ban or stop the Islamic Republic of Iran to trade with other countries.
Speaking in a press conference and in response to a question, Rabiee said that the Iranian’s oil-tankers heading to Venezuela carrying fuel, is a normal thing without any political intention behind.
Highlighting that Iran-Venezuela trading is based on international rules and regulations, he reiterated that both countries’ trade will be continued and Iran will trade with any country it intends.
He adds that “The U.S. sanctions against Iran and Iranians will get nowhere. The U.S. could not halt Iran’s trading with countries. The United States must not breach its motto that ‘the US protects high seas trading’ with its unwise actions and measures.”
Responding to the question on Islamic Republic of Iran’s stance on the recent unrests and riots in the United States and the country’s violence against black people, Rabiei said that unlike the U.S., Iran won’t interfere in any country’s internal affairs.
“Iran is monitoring the unrests and riots in the United States closely which are a cause for concern. The unrests indicate nothing but how the U.S. is careless and indifferent to justice. The U.S. must change and reform its policies instead of challenging the world,” the spokesman emphasized.
Rabiee, referring to the appointment of Imam’s successor on June 4, 1989, said that fortunately, with the collective wisdom and public support, the best transition of leadership took place, which has stabilized the country to date.
During his weekly press conference, he referred to June 4 and 5, noting that these days provide an opportunity for the government to re-pledge allegiance to the ideals of the Imam and the Islamic Revolution as a permanent symbol of the fight against oppression and tyranny.
Rabiee further stated that “We were not a government with a lot of foreign exchange earnings. We were a government that worked hard to run the country. In March, 65,000 billion tomans of our businesses were damaged because of COVID-19. Coronavirus showed us that with the cooperation and coordination of all agencies and the government, we can overcome all crises.”
“With the coming to power of the unbalanced government in the United States, which has challenged not only Iran but also the world, our country has stood firm, and we continue to stand firm,” Rabiee added.
While appreciating the Islamic Revolution Leader for choosing the name of the year as ‘Surge in Production’, he said: “the government was aware that the surge in production was an irreplaceable way to get through the two viruses of sanctions and Coronavirus.”
