Tehran, IRNA – The United States and Europe along with Canada and Australia imposed around 800 mostly economic sanctions on the Iranian nation in less than a year, an Iranian political analyst said.

Mohsen Pakaeen, a foreign policy expert, told IRNA on Sunday that the enemies’ hybrid warfare against the Islamic Republic of Iran has not come to an end.

The hybrid warfare consists of soft war to create dissatisfaction among people with the use of cultural, economic, political and international elements, he said, noting that since the World War II the big powers have always resort to the hybrid warfare against their opponents, and that the US, the Zionist regime and certain European states in particular Britain, France and Germany pursued this sort of warfare in order to put pressure on the Islamic Republic to succumb to the West’s demands.

Following the sad death of a young Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini, the foes used the incident to foment an unrest in Iran, but the fact that the enemies resorted to failed groups such as the MKO terrorists shows they have been left bear-handed, the pundit noted.

The enemies intensified economic pressures in recent months, and the US, Europe along with Canada and Australia imposed about 800 sanctions on Iran from last September up to now, he argued.

The expert urged the Iranian authorities to improve the economic structure of the Islamic country to avoid the negative impact of sanctions and develop peaceful nuclear energy program.
