First VP: Iran ready for harder days of sanctions

Iranian First Vice-President downplayed the effects of sanctions against the country.

Eshaq Jahangiri said in Alborz Province near the capital city of Tehran on Tuesday the Islamic Republic has serious plans for administering the country in case of facing even tougher embargos.

He added that “The enemies started the sanctions with a special goal and plan to prevent the country’s growth and development by these sanctions,”.

Stressing the Iranian officials’ efforts to restore the nation’s rights, he said, “Now we have worked out plans to confront pressures even more than the present level.”

Jahangiri said “Therefore, if the sanctions continue, some essential plans have been compiled for managing the country under even harder conditions”.
