TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Abdolnaser Hemmati on Monday said that efforts will continue to strengthen the country’s ‘resistance economy’ in a bid to reduce the negative impact of U.S. sanctions.
"Regardless of what our political figures decide, we, in the economic sector, have a duty to counter the U.S.’ economic pressure by strengthening the resistance economy and alleviating the negative impacts of sanctions on various fields,” Hemmati said.
"So, we will make every effort to continue the path of Major Genenral Soleimani, which is the path of resistance, and to strengthen the independence of the country’s economy and neutralize the enemy’s economic pressure,” he added.
Everything the U.S. has done in its ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against Iran aimed at breaking through our economic resistance, Hemmati said, adding "Their goal was the collapse of Iran’s economy, but in the past year and a half, we managed to keep the country away from the consequences of the U.S.’ pressure.”
