Self-sufficient Iran will overcome US sanctions: President Rouhani
Tehran (KNA) - President Hassan Rouhani says Iran has reached self-sufficiency in all areas, stressing that the nation will overcome the sanctions imposed by the United States.
The Iranian nation is on the path of self-sufficiency and nobody can stop this greatness by imposing certain conditions," he said in Bandar Abbas Monday at the opening of a refinery which will make the country self-sufficient in gasoline.
"We face challenges at the time of an economic war and sanctions since the US and its mercenaries in the region are attempting to increase daily pressure on the Iranian nation," he said.
Rouhani further dismissed US claims that the sanctions do not target the Iranian nation, saying the measures are affecting people's lives.
