Iran Press/Iran news : The deputy minister for strategic planning and coordination at the Health ministry, Dr Ali Akbar Haghdust (MD)in a news conference held on Monday 27 Aug 2018 stressed the fact that Iran's ministry of health is planning to face even harsher days so that the enemies' guile would be directed at themselves ,reported Iran Press news agency. Dr Haghdust said "hopefully the enemy would be hoisted by its own petard".
Asked to explain the Health Ministry's contingency plans and measures to reduce the negative impact of US sanctions on Iran, Haghdust said the enemies' claim that sanctions do not target patients, hospitals and healthcare is just untrue -- it is "a hollow slogan". Haghdust added: "They want to apply maximum pressure, they are targeting the healthcare sector and medicinal drugs with their sanctions, they want to cause maximum dissatisfaction among the Iranian public."
