An Iranian MP said,"The remarks by US secretary of state showed that he does not know Iranian nation and their mentalities"

" From long time ago, we have experienced lots of sanctions. I think tough sanctions can lead a nation to become more resolute, resistant and capable. We have had some weak points and we are able to overcome them following these sanctions." Said Muhamadreza Mansouri, a member of Iranian parliament committee on industries and mine."

In an exclusive interview with Iran Press, he added" our nation demonstrated their resolve during imposed war. Our nation is great and resistant. They approach each other at the time of difficulty and gain more strength. We will certainly add our endeavors to enhance our capability despite these sanctions."

"The remarks made by US secretary of state showed that he does not know Iranian nation. If he knew Iranian people and their mentalities, he wouldn’t have expressed these remarks", the MP said.
