President Rouhani noted that these inaugurations had an important message for the Iranian nation, “The great nation of Iran and all private, public companies, workers and engineers, despite fighting against the coronavirus on one front, are engaged in economic activities and as well as construction and development projects in the other side by observing health protocols.”

Following the outbreak of coronavirus, despite pressure from the international community including world leaders on the US government to lift its illegal sanctions against Iran and other countries, Washington has not only refused to lift its sanctions but has increased its sanctions and maximum pressure campaign against Iran.
