Rahimi: Iran will turn sanctions into opportunities
Tehran, Aug 9, IRNA - First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi said here on Monday that Iran will turn sanctions into opportunities for constructing a developed country.
Rahimi said the current volume of transit goods stood at seven million tons, adding that the figure could reach 70 million tons in the near future by interconnecting all main roads throughout the county.
He put Iran-EU transactions at dlrs 20 billion, citing wheat, soya bean, corn as the main exporting items from European countries. He said that EU itself will sustain the main burden of loss by issuing new sanctions against Iran.
He explained that the European countries are expected to loose over 150,000-200,000 jobs by imposing these sanctions, while similar job opportunities will be created for the Iranian workforce.
