Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister: The New US Sanctions Have Limited Impact and Will Not Affect New Areas of Iran's Economy

Jinse Finance reported that, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister in charge of economic diplomacy, Ghanbari, commented on the new US sanctions against Iran, saying that even foreign media acknowledge that US sanctions are unlikely to achieve the effects claimed by the US side. He emphasized that if the sanctions are intended to force Iran to change policies formulated in accordance with law and public opinion, they will never succeed. Ghanbari pointed out that since the main sectors of Iran’s economy have long been subject to sanctions, this round of measures will not target new economic areas; the US is focusing instead on strengthening the effectiveness of existing sanctions, closing evasion channels, and countering retaliation tactics. He also cautioned that the media is actively hyping the impact of sanctions, and it is important to stay highly vigilant about this.
