"Our enemies, especially the U.S., have put the issue of imposing sanctions
against the country’s economy and industry on agenda. So, our domestic
capacities should be activated,” he said during a visit to the Iran Khodro auto
company.
Enemies have targeted Iran’s economy and production sector, the security chief
noted.
However, he said, Iran will disappoint the U.S. through taking economic and
political actions to make the strategy of imposing sanctions "ineffective”.
U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew Washington from the 2015 nuclear deal on
May 8 and ordered restoration of sanctions against Iran.
The first batch of sanctions was snapped back on August 6. The second batch will
be restored on November 4. The November sanctions target Iran’s central bank and
oil exports.
Back in May, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Washington will apply
economic and military pressure against Iran and will impose "the strongest
sanctions in history” on the Islamic Republic.
‘SNSC has formed anti-corruption committee’
Shamkhani also said that a committee has been formed in the Supreme National
Security Council to counter corruption.
"Recently, we activated the committee of fighting corruption to help the
Judiciary fight seriously against corruption,” he stated.
