Iran not to yield to US threats - Envoy
Dushanbe, Aug 2, IRNA - Iran's Ambassador to Tajikistan said here Friday Iran would never yield to US, or other countries' threats.
Ali-Asghar She'rdoust made the comment in an interview with
Dushanbe-based 'Mellat' (Nation) weekly, in response to a question,
whether Iran is powerful enough to resist against a new set of Western
sanctions.
He added, "Iran is definitely strong enough to resist against such
sanctions, although we might face certain difficulties, which would of
course be quite natural."
The Iranian ambassador said, "Such sanctions are not a matter of
serious concern for the great Iranian nation, and cannot break the
strong dam of their resistance, since the Iranians have experienced
the likes of them during the course of the past decades and now, too,
they are potentially strong enough to ward off the new problems."
Iran's political representative here said that the
people's unity, Tehran's strategic position, the country's access to
huge oil and gas resources, and the presence of talented and highly
educated Iranians inside the country and abroad are among the factors
that would assist the Iranian nation to solve such problems.
She'rdoust added, "I, who am meanwhile the Secretary of the Supreme
Council for Iranians Abroad, know fairly well that the Iranians in
other countries, side by side those who live in Iran, love their
country from the bottom of their hearts, and defend their country
regardless of their different mentalities and viewpoints." He said,
"They might sometimes be unaware of the power they have, but this is a
great potential that can under crisis conditions assist our country."
The ambassador added, "We Iranians can solve problems easier than the
world assumes, and we would definitely leave behind these problems,
too, prestigiously because we believe the human beings come up with
genius solutions at times of encountering hardships." The envoy said,
"Ever since the victory of the Islamic Revolution, being faced with
various types of hardships Iran managed to achieve great advancement,
and now, too, despite all the existing sanctions, the Iranians are
progressing at an amazingly high speed." 2329**1420
