Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman said that the US maximum pressure strategy has been neutralized by Iran's maximum resilience.

Iran Press/Iran news: "Your maximum pressure is neutralized by our maximum resilience, discretion, and hope," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said in a tweet on Saturday night while answering his American counterpart's tweet regarding the US’ new sanctions targeting the Iranian construction sector.

"We will pass this difficult stage with honor as we have in the past four decades until you learn to speak respectfully with the Iranian nation and return to your commitments," added Mousavi.

The United States said on Thursday it had imposed fresh sanctions on the Iranian construction sector and trade in four materials used in its military or nuclear programs, even as it waived sanctions to let foreign firms continue non-proliferation work in Iran.
