TEHRAN -- Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says the enemies have failed in their attempts to wage an economic warfare against the Islamic Republic, stressing there is no concern about the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
“You made a miscalculation. You are causing sedition in the issues of our region, our people know you well,” Raisi said at Shah Abdol Azim shrine in Shahre-Ray south of the capita on Thursday.
The Iranian president pointed to the volume of Iran’s oil exports and said, “Enemies thought they could stop our trade, but they failed, and today our trade has grown by 40-50%.”
Stressing that the Iranian nation will overcome the difficult economic situation through cooperation and perseverance, Raisi said, “We have stated many times that there are no worries about foreign exchange reserves.”
The president said European countries that were involved in a hybrid warfare and sanctions against the Iranian people “are sending a message that let’s sit down and talk together, but “we believe that despite all hardships, the situation will progress in such a way that the problems will be fixed”.
“When the sanctions failed, they started a hybrid war, and all parties participated in it, and they thought they could stop our country, and they started sedition with all their strength and capacity, and they imagined they would achieve success, but they also faced defeat in the hybrid war,” he noted.
