Tehran, SAEDNEWS: “The goal of the enemies in this war has been the collapse of the Iranian economy; that was their intention. Now, the collapse of the economy was, of course, a prelude in order to set the people against the Islamic Republic by destroying the Iranian economy and to carry out their malicious political intentions in this way,” the Leader said in an address to a group of Iranian producers and entrepreneurs in Tehran Sunday.
Ayatollah Khamenei hailed Iranian producers, entrepreneurs and workers as “officers” of the battle against the enemies’ economic war, reiterating his oft-repeated line that officials should not tie the country's economy to the results of negotiations in Vienna to remove US sanctions on Iran.
“I always repeat that you should not condition the country's economy and economic activities. Do not pause over something that is not in our hands,” the Leader said in his remarks directed at state officials (Source: PRESSTV).
