Iranian ambassadors to various European countries and leaders of the diplomatic missions have made some announcements about the Iranian nuclear program and the Western sanctions againstIran.
According to presstv.ir Iranian ambassador to the Netherlands says the Western sanctions against the Islamic Republic have failed to hinder the country’s nuclear energy program.
Kazem Gharib Abadi said that the sanctions have, however, failed to undermineIran’s nuclear energy program as it relies on indigenous expertise and does not depend on foreign assistance.
The Iranian diplomat also noted that the sanctions against Iran, especially the oil embargos, will be harmful to the Western countries as the global economic conditions get worse.
