Japan lifts nuclear sanctions on Iran

Shehabi: Definitely, the world has become more respectful of Iran that Iran has been able to negotiate diplomatically and politically in order to continue their nuclear program but within the limits that are defined by the global community. Iran’s $400 billion economy has attracted initial interest from some Western investment firms, which are looking to benefit from the country’s relatively untapped markets and its massive oil reserves – home to 10 percent of the world’s proven crude oil reserves. The new punishment came one day after the Obama administration lifted economic penalties against Iran over its nuclear program. Iran’s Supreme Leader has good reason to be happy.

“Azerbaijan seeks to enhance and deepen its ties with the Islamic Republic in all fields”, Aliyev said, expressing the hope that his upcoming visit to Tehran would pave the way for increased bilateral ties and regional cooperation.

The United States insists Iran’s ballistic missile tests violated U.N. sanctions sanctions that will remain in effect for at least eight more years under the terms of the nuclear accord.

Shehabi: The problem with the United States, and there was generally, is that they do not really stand up to the expectations of other people.

“We have deals that are being worked out with Airbus all sorts of companies from nuclear technology companies, to irrigation, green energy… a whole range of them”, he said, without elaborating.

In a new interview with the Associated Press, Iran’s top diplomat slapped the hand of the United States. We believe the sanctions are illegal. And all the speakers who were mostly Westerners, they expressed satisfaction and appreciation of the Iranian stance.
