US sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program produced no positive outcomes, and if US lawmakers manage to impose more of those, despite President Obamas position, they will not like the consequences, warned Iranian FM Javad Zarif in the interview with the Russia Today."Those in the United States, who are pushing for more sanctions, have to see what this policy has produced and whether it is worth risking. I dont want to get engaged in a childish discussion on whether Iran is bluffing or not. They can test us," Zarif said, commenting on the ongoing drive in the US Congress to impose more sanctions against Tehran. Proponents of introducing more sanctions on Iran believe that a better final deal could be reached.
"What sanctions have produced is basically 19,000 centrifuges and a lot of resentment among the Iranian population that the United States Congress is against their buying medicines. [This is] because it restricts the possibility for banks to open Letters of Credit for Iranian corporations to import medicine," he said.
"If they believe that sanctions are so important, then they can test it and see the consequences. I dont think the consequences would be something that they would like," he said.
