Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday that his compatriots’ unity and resistance brought the US sanctions and economic war into a failure, adding that Iran has exported $28bln of non-oil products in 10 months.
Despite all tough sanctions by the US, Iran exported some $28 billion non-oil commodities over the past 10 months of the current Iranian year (started on March 20), Rouhani said, addressing a ceremony to inaugurate a number of agricultural projects on Thursday.
He also said that Iranian imports stood at $30 billion during the past 10-month period.
He said that Iran’s trade could be even more than the current figure but the COVID-19 outbreak has caused a decline in the country’s foreign trade over the past one year.
Rouhani hailed the resistance of the Iranian people to the US maximum pressure, saying that the people joined hands and maintained unity to reach their lofty goals.
Also, on Wednesday, Iran’s First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri said that the Iranian nation’s resistance made the US surrender in economic war against the country.
Failure of the US economic war against the Islamic Republic of Iran indicated that the resistance of the Iranian nation has made the US surrender, Jahangiri said.
The future of Iran is bright and no one is allowed to disappoint the young generation, he added.
Victory of the Islamic revolution is also indebted to the martyrdom and dedication of the Iranian nation, Jahangiri said.
