Iran’s Judiciary Chief Urges National Resolve to Tackle Sanctions

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani denounced the US sanctions against Iran, but at same time stressed that the country can confront sanctions by resorting to national resolve.

“Today, the country is facing special conditions and the cruel sanctions have caused problems for (Iranian) families; however, we will leave behind these problems with the resolve of the people and the prudence of officials,” Amoli Larijani said on Sunday during the swearing-in ceremony of the country’s new president at the venue of the Iranian parliament here in Tehran.

Larijani further expressed the hope that Iran’s new administration would elevate the position of the country through cooperation and constructive interactions with all branches of the government.
