FM spokesman: Sanctions have no impacts on Iran

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, July 26, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Monday that new rounds of sanctions imposed by the European Union on Iran have no impacts on the country but only make the situation more complicated.

Iranian companies and experts are able to handle oil and gas projects in the country by themselves, he said.

EU foreign ministers in a new move on Monday ratified new sanctions on investments in the Iranian oil and gas industry, he said.

Speaking to reporters, he said sanctions could not be used as a lever to exert pressures on the nation’s rights and only make the situations more complicated.

Rejecting such futile attempts which lack legal basis, he said in resolving the global problems it is necessary to seek cooperation of world countries.

The world is in dire need of reform, he said.
