In a speech on Monday night, Larijani pointed to the re-introduction of US
economic sanctions on Iran and said in the difficult situation, the country
needs investment in order to boost its resistance against the pressures.
"This era can lead to the internal renovation of the country’s economy,” he
said, adding, "If we believe in this, we should make the media arrangements (for
it).”
The parliament speaker further emphasized that the current situation is best for
exports.
The situation is not bitter only but there are grounds for the country’s
economic boom, about which the people should be informed, he stated.
"By focusing on the domestic economy, reforming its structure and facilitating
investment, the enemies cannot talk to Iran like that from now on because Iran's
resilience is increasing and this situation offers a good prospect for the
country,” Larijani went on to say.
US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order reimposing many
sanctions on Iran, three months after pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.
He said the US policy is to levy "maximum economic pressure” on the country.
Trump also restated his opinion that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was a "horrible,
one-sided deal”.
On May 8, the US president pulled his country out of the Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of
negotiations among Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain,
France and Germany).
Following the US exit, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the
accord.
Meanwhile, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has
underlined that any decision to keep the JCPOA running without the US should be
conditional on "practical guarantees” from the Europeans.
