Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, president Hassan Rouhani said, "The Americans will definitely be defeated although the sanctions make problems and hardships for Iranian people."
"The Islamic republic will proudly bypass sanctions imposed by the United States," Rouhani added according to an Iran Press report.
“We are happy that despite all conspiracies against the Islamic Revolution, the unlawful US sanctions have not been able to get them to what they want, and they themselves admit it,” he continued.
The enemies are trying to pressure Iran on oil and its export and sales, as well as banking, he said, adding, “Regarding oil, we are following different ways and paths for its sale and we are proudly circumventing these sanctions.”
Rouhani went on to say, “All countries know that these sanctions are unjust and unlawful, eventually targeting the people of Iran, rather than state individuals and institutions.”
Americans are trying to make banking transactions with the world hard for us, said Rouhani, adding, “Their goal is to gather a team and they are using financing of terrorism as pretext.”
“Today, the entire world know that Iran has been both pioneer in fighting terrorism and a victim of terrorism since the beginning of the Revolution,” he said.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has foiled the plots of the US with wise steps and we hope that we can foil this plot as well with the help of the related institutions,” Rouhani noted.
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran also said, “We can assure the world that the Islamic Republic of Iran has always fought terrorism and today, it will fight them financially and in other fields.”
Expressing happiness that the explored oil fields in the past 40 years have been nearly doubled, the President added, “Today, our oil and condensates reserves are very high compared to the early days after the victory of the Islamic Revolution.”
He also mentioned the exploration of a new oil field in Abadan, saying, “This means that with Iran’s power in oil and gas, it is not a country that can be removed from the energy market.”
On Iran’s effectiveness in the region in the fields of energy, culture, global policies and science and technology, he said, “I assure the people of Iran that all authorities, especially the oil ministry, will work within the framework of the rule of law and do their best to sell Iran’s oil, gas and condensates.” 101
