Iran: the new sanctions "had no impact on our economy"

Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani, said on Saturday that the new sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran's shipping, shipbuilding and financial sectors would have no impact on the country's economy since Blanche had already applied extensive sanctions to the Islamic Republic.

"The sanctions had no impact on our economy because the United States had already used all the weapons at their disposal and there was nothing new to use against us", Rouhani said in a live statement on television, according to Reuters.

"They have just released a long list of banks, their branches … and airlines and their planes. And it shows that they are just trying to psychologically affect the Iranian nation, "he added.

The White House has announced that it will temporarily allow eight Iranian oil importers to continue this trade.

"It has now become clear that America can not reduce Iran's oil exports to zero," Rouhani said.

The sanctions are aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear and missile programs, as well as funding for alternative forces in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and other parts of the Middle East.
