‘Iranians to repel effects of sanctions’

“With the passing of every day, new aspects of the pressure from the global arrogance and the domineering and rapacious regimes led by the US and Israel become manifest for the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said Deputy Head of the Iranian Armed Forces’ Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri on Wednesday.

“The Iranian people know the extent of these embargoes and they understand the amount of pressure exerted by the enemy with regard to welfare, hygiene, health and other spheres of the individual and social lives of the Iranian society.”

“However they (the Iranians) are determined not to surrender to the foreigners’ bullying as it has been the case during the magnificent history of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the Iranian commander pointed out.

Jazayeri praised the achievements of the Iranian nation in turning threats into opportunities and noted that following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the nation has always countered the effects of embargoes and circumvented the sanctions through cooperation with the government.

The US-led EU sanctions are meant to pressure the Islamic Republic over its nuclear energy program, which Washington, Israel and some of their allies claim includes a military aspect.

Following the US-engineered sanctions on Iran’s banking, the imports of more than fifty kinds of badly needed medicine for people who suffer from certain diseases such as cancer, children’s cancer, thalassemia, multiple sclerosis (MS), and respiratory and heart diseases, have declined drastically.

Those who suffer from such diseases hardly find their medicine or if they do, they should pay a high price.

Many prominent international lawyers, including Franklin Lamb and Francis Boyle, contend that Iran is entitled to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice against the US, France, the UK and their allies, on behalf of all Iranian citizens being harmed by illegal and political economic sanctions.
