Iran strongly stands against enemies' economic assault
EghtesadOnline: The chairman of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis)'s Economic Commission Mohammad-Reza Pour-Ebrahimi said in the southeastern province of Kerman on Saturday that the Islamic Republic of Iran has strongly stood against enemies' economic assault.
According to the public relations of Pour-Ebrahimi's office in Kerman, he said the enemies are doing their best to do harm on Iranian economy.
Pointing to the enemies' efforts for putting more economic pressure on Iran, he added today the enemies are confronting the Islamic Republic in economic arenas.
Last July, a historic nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was inked between Tehran and the P5+1 group of world powers, namely Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany, reports IRNA.
The accord, which took effect in January, was aimed to end decades of economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program.
However, months after JCPOA’s implementation, Iran complains that the promised economic benefits have not been materialized yet due to obstacles maily made by anti-Iran circles in Washington, and that it still does not have access to global banking network.
