TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali has said the country can overcome the U.S. economic pressures by distancing itself from the dollar system.
Brigadier Gholamreza Jalali said that Iran should take measures to decrease vulnerability to exclusion from the U.S.-dominated dollar economy.
"The dollar is the biggest strong point of U.S. and we should make our stance clear with regards to dollar,” Jalai said.
He suggested using local currencies for bilateral transactions with other countries as an option for Iran even under normal circumstances.
Jalali reiterated that imposing economic sanctions and launching cyberattacks are the only U.S. option to pressure Iran, adding that Washington is no longer capable of threatening Iran militarily as it will trigger a crushing response from Iran.
