Mehmanparast: Sanctions against Iran Total Failure
Local Editor
"Most of Western countries do not consider these sanctions practical and do not sacrifice their national interests for the political objectives of the US and a limited number of Western allies," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Sunday.
Mehmanparast added that some of the Western countries "do not want to lose Iran's market in spite of the pressures that they are facing."
On December 15, The US Senate endorsed punitive measures against financial institutions to dissuade them from doing transactions with Iran's Central Bank by threatening to cut them off from United States' financial system.
On November 21, the United States, Britain and Canada announced new sanctions on Iran's energy and financial sectors.
Tehran has categorically refuted Western allegations, saying that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it has the right to acquire and develop atomic technology for peaceful purposes.
