Rezaei: The West uses embargo to prevent development of Iranian economy

TEHRAN, Jun.22, (ST)- The Iranian Vice President for Economic Affairs, Mohsen Rezaei, has asserted that the West is trying to prevent the development of the Iranian economy and it uses the embargo as a tool to achieve this.

Rezaei said in an economic conference held on Wednesday in Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran, his country is facing an economic war and is witnessing an economic development as well, and Iranian universities can play an important role in this field, stressing the impossibility of establishing security and stability in the world without recognizing Iran’s role.

In the same context, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pir Hossein Kolivand, called on the International Federation of Red Cross and International Red Crescent Societies to take urgent and practical measures to address the negative repercussions of the embargo against Iran, which affects the poor.

“The Corona pandemic has shown us the fragility of the world in which we live and the urgent need to launch future strategic initiatives and solutions regarding decisions, plans and joint efforts to enhance humanitarian services around the world,” Kolivand said.
