Addressing a meeting of “Promising Steps Ahead in Developing Trade Opportunities between Iran and India” in Hyderabad, India, Amirabdollahian said that US’ unilateral and oppressive sanctions will end.
Thanks to its resistance and vigilance, Iran made these sanctions ineffective in the first place, he said.
Most of the sanctions were imposed on defense sector, he said adding that other sanctions were aimed at preventing developments in science and technology.
