Iran to Continue to Sell Oil Despite US Sanctions: President Rouhani
Алексей Никольский/РИА Новости
Iran will continue to export its oil and will "break" the sanctions reinstated by the US on Monday. As RT reports, the nation’s leader Hassan Rouhani said in a TV address.
"America wanted to cut to zero Iran’s oil sales," but the Islamic Republic "will continue to sell" its oil "to break sanctions,"Rouhani warned during a meeting with the economists, which was broadcast on TV.
The Iranian president said that the country will undercut Washington’s plan for sanctions on its energy and banking sectors.
The US began re-imposing sanctions on Tehran after President Donald Trump withdrew the country from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear program in May, branding the deal "defective at its core."
