Iranian President said that US sanctions have failed to hinder the country's progress in different fields.

Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking in a ceremony to open the phase 3 of the world’s biggest gas condensates refinery, Setareh Khalije Fars, on Monday, Hassan Rouhani noted that inauguration of this project less than 2 years is a symbol of sanctions failure. 

“It is hard for enemies to see that during what they say is the toughest sanctions against Iran, we have opened three major national projects in Hormozgan Province in only 24 hours,” Iranian President added.

“This means that our nation is moving rapidly towards self-sufficiency and greatness,” he continued.

“The enemies said they were implementing the toughest sanctions, but people’s life and Iran’s development continue,” added the President.

Rouhani also went on to say, “Despite plots and sanctions, we were able to produce high-quality petrol to the amount we needed.”

He added, “During the war with Iraq, our refineries were bombarded every day but our oil sales never stopped”, saying, “The entire world were helping Saddam but we stood firm.”

Stating that, “Economic war is harder than military war,” he continued, “We are not in normal conditions; but the enemy will definitely by forced to fall retreat at the economic war we have.”

“(Donald) Trump’s standing along on Iran despite being the President of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was a historic scandal for him and great victory for us,” added Rouhani.

He also went on to stress that, “The US is showing animosity against people’s health and lives.” 101
