Iran Press/Iran news:Sanctioning Iran is tantamount to their failure in abiding by their commitments to the international organizations, the United Nations, and an 82-million nation, said President Rouhani in the inauguration ceremony of phase one of the Heris Combined Cycle Power Plant, northwest of Iran.
President Rouhani said that they try to compensate for their failure through imposing sanctions but to no avail. Iran like Europe will be hurt, he said but the good side of such sanctions is that Iran will be the only one who gains. "We stand on our own feet; we have had great advances in new technological-know how", he said, reported Iran Press.
