Iran: The so-called “unprecedented” United States sanctions have no bearing on Iran's position

ACCORDING TO IRNA, THE SPOKESMAN FOR THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF IRAN, IN RESPONSE TO A COMMENT THAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAD ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD IMPOSE UNPRECEDENTED SANCTIONS ON IRAN, INCLUDING A LAND BLOCKADE, SAID: “THESE INITIATIVES WILL HAVE NO IMPACT ON IRAN'S POSITION. WHETHER THIS WAR OR THE PAST 50 YEARS, THE UNITED STATES HAS TRAPPED ITSELF IN A VICIOUS CIRCLE OF WAR, DISCRIMINATION, PRESSURE AND SANCTIONS. AS YOU WILL RECALL, THE CONCEPT OF SO-CALLED “PARALYTIC SANCTIONS” THAT WAS INTRODUCED DURING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S TERM OF OFFICE, FOLLOWED BY THE “EXTREME PRESSURE” CAMPAIGN IN THE FIRST TERM OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, ATTESTS TO THE ANTI-HUMAN NATURE OF THE AMERICANS; THEY HAVE CUT OFF THE SUPPLY OF DRUGS TO OUR PEOPLE, USED ALL MEANS TO PRESSURE IRAN, AND ULTIMATELY RESORTED TO ILLEGAL MILITARY AGGRESSION, AND CONTINUE TO SUFFER ITS CONSEQUENCES. IN FUTURE, PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT THESE OLD METHODS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TRIED AND ARE INEFFECTIVE, WILL NOT PRODUCE NEW RESULTS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT, NOT ONLY NOW, BUT LONG AGO, WE HAVE PREPARED THE NECESSARY PLANS BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT OF THE VARIOUS SCRIPTS THAT THE UNITED STATES MAY CONTINUE TO ABUSE IRAN IN VARIOUS WAYS, AND THAT IRAN WILL USE ALL ITS MEANS TO DEAL WITH THE NEW SITUATION”。
