Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei received cabinet members on the occasion of Government Week on Wednesday 08/21/2018

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, "Iran’s move to reduce its JCPOA commitments was the right move and we have demonstrated that there is a limit to our patience”.

Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking at the meeting of the cabinet with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, President Hassan Rouhani said: “Despite the extensive efforts of the United States to stop our exports and imports, we could create a balance and stability in the market”.

He appreciated the patience and resistance of the Iranian nation against pressures, saying, “Today, the United States is globally considered as an isolated oath-breaker, as we have been able to defeat them in the international arena at least on two occasions”.

“Today, the US is committing economic terrorism against the entire Iranian nation, women, children, and men,” he said, describing the sanctions.

If the 4+1 negotiations are successful, it can change the circumstances, he said, adding: “If the negotiations are unsuccessful, we will continue this path”.

 “World powers know that if Iran’s oil export is reduced to zero, international waterways will not have the same security they used to; therefore, unilateral pressure against Iran cannot be to their benefit and ensure their security in the region and the world,” he continued.

On the government’s policy to sell oil products instead of crude oil, Rouhani said, “To do this, we will develop our existing refineries and build new ones”.

He added: “If all branches of the government stand together and support each other, we will overcome the sanctions more quickly, and bring the United States to its knees”.
