Speaker: Iran's Industries Further Activated after Sanctions

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that the US sanctions have increased self-sufficiency in the country and many industries are flourishing.
Speaker: Iran

Many producers say that their economic situation has improved since the sanctions were imposed because all people have turned back to purchase products manufactured inside Iran, Larijani said in Tehran on Sunday.

"It is an important point that the Americans should pay attention; the Iranians enjoy the capability and talent to turn difficulties into opportunities," he added.

In relevant remarks last month, Iranian Deputy Minister of Science, Research and Technology Abdulreza Baqeri underlined that the US sanctions against his country should be seized as an opportunity to accelerate progress and development in Iran.

"One of the important issues today is that under sanctions we can use the capacity of universities to improve the economic and productive situation of the country," Baqeri said, addressing the unveiling ceremony of three new scientific achievements of the Iranian Institute of Materials and Energy, located in Meshkin plain of Alborz province.

"The sanctions have created an opportunity for Iran to improve the quality of Iranian goods by utilizing our domestic capacity," he added.

"We need to use these capacities, to address the shortage of parts needed by the country's industries," Baqeri underlined.
