La Paz, Bolvia: Iranian Defense Minister General Ahmad Vahidi has said that the country is prepared to counter any “hostile and unwise behavior” initiated by the United States.
Addressing a press conference in La Paz, Bolvia on the sidelines of an inauguration ceremony of a defense academy for members of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA), which includes Latin American and Caribbean nations, General Vahidi remarked, “Powerful Iran is ready to deliver a firm response to any hostile and unwise behavior by the United States,” quoted by Fars news agency.
He also described as “illogical and unjustifiable” the recent US sanctions against Venezuela’s state-run oil company for its sale of gasoline products to Iran.
Last month, Obama administration slapped sanctions on seven foreign companies, including Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), over their transactions with Iran as part of a US campaign to tighten sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear programme.
“The US has imposed sanctions on Iran for 32 years. The sanctions have no affects on Iran; rather, they have led to the development and empowerment of the country. There is little doubt that the sanctions on the Venezuelan oil company will [also] lead to self-sufficiency, solidarity and empowerment of the country,” the Iranian minister stressed.
