Ayatollah Khamenei said confronting the full-fledged economic war of enemies is among other factors to adopt the resistance economy.
Sanctions did exist well before the nuclear energy episode and they will be in effect even once the talks are God willing getting to the point of settlement because nuclear and human rights as well as other issues are mere excuses and the western governments and the bullying powers are scared of Iranian nations resolve of independence and serving as a role model.
