Iran Press/Iran news: Iranian Parliament Speaker Special Aide on International Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian wrote on Twitter on Friday that Iran, Turkey and can teach Europe to not rely on the United States and pursue an independent foreign policy.
"Iran, Turkey and Russia could bring sanction to its knees. When defeated, Europe will gain confidence and could start its new political life with less reliance on the US," he added in his post according to Iran Press.
By using the new opportunities, we have to establish new arrangements in the international politics, Amir-Abdollahian emphasized.
The United States is using sanctions policy to put pressure on other countries, including those that are challenging US action in the region, including Iran, Russia and Turkey.
