MP: Iranians Never Sacrifice Their Independence For Economic Welfare

Kerman, Dec 17, IRNA – Majlis deputy from Tehran Gholamali Haddad Adel said on Sunday that the Iranian people never sacrifice their independence for economic welfare as prescribed by enemies. Speaking to a group of university students and executive officials at Shahid Bahonar University, Kerman province, he said the Iranian people will successfully overcome difficulties and turn all threats into opportunities to attain development. Under economic sanctions, the Iranian people have managed to increase national production and job employments in order to turn the country into an exemplary Islamic model, he said. When the enemies failed to attain their sinister goals through military campaign and sedition, they changed their course of action and targeted Iran's economy, he said. They imposed various sets of economic sanctions, halted banking transactions, cancelled insurance and threw new barriers in the way of the country's transportation system, he said. Ill-wishers try to toughen economic sanctions to paralyze people in order to depict the country's ruling system as an incapable religious system, he said. "If you are concerned about Iran's nuclear program, why do you support the Zionist regime which does not abide by UN resolutions?" he questioned. Such sanctions can be used as an opportunity to conquer peaks of scientific and industrial development in the country, he said./end
